After these:
$ git reset --hard HEAD
$ >a-new-file && git add a-new-file
running
$ git commit --dry-run; echo $?
$ git commit --dry-run --short; echo $?
tells me that "--short" still does not notice that there _is_
something to be committed, either with an ancient version like
v2.10.5 or more modern versions of Git. The "long" version exits
with 0, while "--short" one exists with 1.
So...?
