I am not interested in this particular patch, especially the part that
hoards a short-and-nice -S flag that we could use for something more
useful. Also calling the configuration variable "nostatus" is backwards;
I'd name it to "showstatus" that defaults to "true" if I were doing this.
You did not mention exactly how the "hundred thousand files on an
inefficient filesystem" is a problem, but if it is about listing untracked
files, I thought Marius Storm-Olsen added a feature to address that with
4bfee30 (Add an optional <mode> argument to commit/status -u|--untracked-files
option, 2008-06-05).
If that is not still enough for your particular use case, I think you can
have a custom wrapper that does:
#!/bin/sh
: >.log-message-file &&
vi .log-message-file &&
git commit -F .log-message-file "$@" &&
rm -f .log-message-file
without touching git at all.
