Is it actually "status --porcelain=v2" that you care about here? Or is
it normal "git status"?
Do you care about seeing the branch at all? I.e., would "--no-branch" be
a viable option (though I notice it seems to be a silent noop with the
long-form, which should probably be fixed).
If you really do want to see all branch details but just skip the
ahead/behind, then yeah, I'd agree that adding an option to do so makes
sense. Is "status" the only command that needs it? I think we do it
unconditionally with "git checkout", too.

Taking 20 seconds to traverse 20 days worth of history sounds pretty
awful. How many commits is it?
