Has the name of the option been discussed already and the list
reached a consensus?  "in progress" is a two-word phrase, and I am
wondering if this should be status.inProgress (and the option name
should be "--in-progress").

I do not think we want to give short-and-sweet "-p" to this option.
"git log -p" gives a patch output, "git status -p" sounds like it
does so, too (i.e. "git show" plus various status).  Besides, for
those who are lazy, you already have a configuration variable.
