I was surprised of that when looking at the source, but yes, it makes
sense.
But the message I was replying to claimed that
"git status-or-commit -a" _needed_ to put objects in the object
database. That's true of "git commit -a" but not of "git status -a",
even if you call it "git commit --dry-run -a", precisely because of
the --dry-run thing.
