OK: I have a large number of large git submodules that I never edit, but they make every other command that just incidentally creates a diff output slow. I have found command line options for things like git status/diff (--ignore-submodules=dirty) and git commit (--no-status) to avoid this penalty, but I use git rebase -i constantly and wany to use git stash a lot, but the cost of these commands is somewhat brutal when they sometimes cause incidental status reports. What I really want is a setting that like "avoid incidental status" that disables status reports from any command except git status (as I do want to be able to see this status), as I simply don't ever need the noise (such as in the git commit default message) and it really is a pretty annoying delay when rapidly throwing around commands to edit history to have one which suddenly decides to take forever. If nothing else, though, a --no-status for git stash/rebase (I use all these commands through aliases anyway) would be very helpful. (I would be happy to be more specific if this sounds interesting but isn't enough to know what I mean, but I figure it might either be something you wouldn't get behind anyway and I also really want to take a nap and so want to leave a message earlier ;P. I also happen to be [email protected] and @saurik on Twitter.)
