It strikes me just now that `--no-side-effects` might have been a better name for the option (of course, iff this avoid all kinds of side effects. I'm not sure about the side affects other than index refreshing of "git status"). And in case we didn't care about the predictability of option names even a little, `--do-what-i-say` might have been a catchy alternative ;-)
