Sorry for not paying attention earlier, but I am not sure I like this
speed vs. correctness tradeoff. I think it is confusing to users to show
files as modified that won't be modified in a commit.
Also, I think this has a compatibility impact. Currently, if you
call the status API and that returns the file as modified, then commit will
include it in the transaction. Users of the library might rely on this
semantic. If you have files that look modified before a commit, will
you still have those files look modified after the commit because they
were not considered modified by commit? Maybe the commit code could
detect and fix this?
