I'd like git status to always use the short format:

$ git status --short
 M src/meck.erl
 M test/meck_tests.erl
?? erl_crash.dump
?? meck_test_module.coverdata

There does not seem to exist a configuration option for this, and git config --global alias.status "status --short" does not work. I haven't managed to create and alias in zsh either.

How can I make git status to use the short format by default.
