Hi all,

when starting with git it's very nice to have all this helpful hints in
the output of the git commands. But know, after I can handle git quite well,
all this helpful hints hinder me to get the core information of the
commands. 

E.g:
git status

file: needs merge
# Not currently on any branch.
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       unmerged:   file
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#       init


The core information is just:

unmerged : file
untracked: init



It would be nice to be able to configure an expert mode, in which only
the core information of the git commands is printed out.

Just some thoughts.



Greetings,
Daniel
