Ah, why does it take this many exchanges to extract the true
motive behind what people do even in a technical forum like
this, I wonder...

So what you want is not multiple -m options nor piping to fmt.
What you really want is an option that is the opposite of -v to
git-commit that omits the status list ("_could_ commit if you
update-index" part -- since "will commit" is something we would
need to compute anyway).

I suspect you are suffering from lstat() performance.  I wonder
if "assume unchanged" git help your situation?
