I generally try to work on one thing at a time and keep the status output short -- and I imagine that that's the way most people work -- but there are certain things where long output is going to be unavoidable, like renaming a directory with lots of files in it. And when that happens, seeing only the bottom of the "git status" output and not the top is not what I want 100% of the time.
