I see. I still think you may want to improve "commit --dry-run" with a plumbing format, though, instead of "git status". Then it would automagically support "--amend", as well as other dry-run things (e.g., "git commit --dry-run --porcelain --amend foo.c"). And not having looked at the code, I would guess it is a one-liner patch to switch the "output format" flag that commit passes to the wt-status.c code.
