I've always thought this to be a rather awkward option name. If it had
been named '--plumbing' there'd be no room for such misunderstanding,
it outputs it a format suitable for use by, and as plumbing. Perhaps
something to remember for the future, or would we want to stay
consistent with the current --porcelain?
