Noone, except for a few, knows that git-commit runs runstatus. The name makes no sense. "git-commit --index", perhaps (the current state of index to be commited). Or "git-commit --prepared" (the commit is prepared and there can be stored immediately). Even a dumb "--fast" would be better (because it is the purpose of the patch). Besides, now when you disabled runstatus, you better check for changes in the index with something like "git diff --quiet --cached". - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
