Hrm, not quite, because the way include_status works is weird. If I turn
it off in the config, like this:

  git config commit.status false

then asking explicitly for a status format should still dry-run and show
it:

  git commit --porcelain

IOW, include_status is only respected when we are generating the actual
commit. So I think you need something more like:

  if (status_format == STATUS_FORMAT_DEFAULT) {
          if (verbose && !include_status) {
                  include_status = 1;
                  status_format = STATUS_FORMAT_NONE;
          }
  } else
          dry_run = 1;
