It strikes me just now that `--no-side-effects` might have been a better 
name for the option (of course, iff this avoid all kinds of side 
effects. I'm not sure about the side affects other than index refreshing 
of "git status"). And in case we didn't care about the predictability of 
option names even a little, `--do-what-i-say` might have been a catchy 
alternative ;-)
