With this flag, the user can choose to filter untracked files from
the
status output. This can be used to either speed up the status
output, as
the untracked files are not fetched at all, or to just cleanup the
output without using gitignore.
"git diff -r --name-status; git diff --cached -r --name-status" is
not enough?
That line will result in duplicate entries, if files are staged, and
the output of git-status is neater (but longer) in my opinion.

Sure you could remove duplicate entries with "sort|uniq", or
something, but just running "git status --only-tracked", is cleaner,
and more user friendly.
The way I see the flag used is: A user runs "git status", sees that
there is too much untracked files and not enough scrollback, so he
runs "git status --only-tracked" to filter the results.
