To avoid including the summary, the option would be --no-status (-q
makes commit less verbose in stdout, not in COMMIT_EDITMSG).

But

strace -fe lstat64 git commit -uno --no-status -q

still shows lstat64 for each tracked file in my working tree (even
when using -m to avoid launching the editor). I don't know if this is
intended, or just that nobody cared enough to optimize this.
