git-commit supports the -u flag, its meaning is the same as for
git-status. Although the -i flag might be confused with the --include
option of git-commit, I suggest this shortening based on first letter of
the --ignored option because git-status and git-commit are different
commands and it's more obvious shortening.

The --ignored option is often used for opposing purposes, to show all
changes in working directory regardless of .gitignore files which may be
written sloppy. I've discovered that I type this option quite
frequently, and I hope my case may help others.
