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.
