Here is a tiny patch adding -q option to git status.
It means -uno (Show no untracked files).

It seems from the subject like you are trying to emulate a similar
option in "svn status".

As a former svn user I also miss -q.  I like to keep untracked non-ignored
files lying around as a short-term TODO list.

I think the point is not SVN compatibility.  The point is that SVN just got
the commandline interface right here ;-) because -q easier to discover and
remember (many programs have --quiet/-q).  And when you use it you will use
it several times in a row.  For this -uno is already too much to bother
typing (assuming you have an alias 'git st').
