My take on it:

1) --no-porcelain

2) we all are bike-shedding, not being constructive at all

You are right about (2), regarding the option name. I've queued one that
uses --no-guess.

Perhaps a universal --plumbing flag would be handy? It'd be nice to be
able to pass any command --plumbing and it'll either behave in a
stable, predictable, plumbing-like way, or die with an error message
stating that it isn't a plumbing command.  Right now, it's sort of
hard to figure out what is plumbing and what is porcelain.  Some
commands are clear, but other commands labelled as plumbing in git(1)
are deprecated in favor of commands labelled as porcelain.
