[RFC PATCH 0/1] status: Allow for short-form output by default

Hi,

It was asked recently whether git status could output the short-form instead of the long output (via its "-sb" options). To that end, I've created a rough POC on how this might look. It's deliberately lacking documentation; I was curious to know whether:

status.shortwithbranch = true

Was going to cut it. Likewise, I was unsure if instead there should be two separate options, one for just short (i.e. '-s') also?

What do others think?

ISTR reading on this list recently the addition of a "--long" option to git status? I'm wondering how this would relate to that, if at all?

Kindly,

Thomas Adam (1):
