Earlier in the series when "git commit --dry-run" and "git status" still
were the same thing, I checked if the above was feasible and then decided
against it, because they needed to share the option parsing and the index
preparation, and exporting these functions inherently internal to "git
commit" only to use them in "git status" did not make much sense.

But once "git status" does not have anything to do with "git commit", I
think such a separation would become much more sensible.
