Not a very good name for the option. Noone, except for a few, knows
that git-commit runs runstatus. The name makes no sense.
"git-commit --index", perhaps (the current state of index to be
commited). Or "git-commit --prepared" (the commit is prepared and
there can be stored immediately). Even a dumb "--fast" would be
better (because it is the purpose of the patch).
Besides, now when you disabled runstatus, you better check for changes
in the index with something like "git diff --quiet --cached".
