FWIW, I think this is a a great idea, 'git status' being a preview of
'git commit' has never made sense to me from a UI perspective, and I
never actually use 'git status' for that purpose. While I do use it to
look at what I'm going to commit, I never use any 'git commit'
modifiers in combination with git status.

On that note, I agree with Jeff that a config option does not make a
lot of sense, especially if we introduce 'git commit -d|--dry-run'.
