At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, I have to register an objection to this _as a config option_, for the same reasons that I objected to the 'grep --full-tree' config option [1]. Both options fundamentally change user visible behavior, both options IMHO will be used by a small minority of git users, and in both cases, the desired behavior can be attained using aliases in combination with a new command line option. Sorry if I'm obstructing progress, but I think that, for the good of the Git community as a whole, it's best to keep the number of config options (and to a lesser extent, command line options) as low as possible. Note that I do not object to adding --no-status as a command line option.
