It would be nice to be able to explicitly ask to suppress some of the
output for cases where there's a lot of it and only a small part is
interesting (like when resolving a large merge as mentioned earlier) - I
often end up doing this by hand in those situations.  I do agree that
doing this by default would be surprising.
