Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would suggest to print less messages for the user. For example, message Commiting... or Couldn't commit with 2 other messages:
изображение

Describe the solution you'd like
I would remove the mentioned 2 messages to make the plugin less noisy.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An option for it.
Users also could filter some of the messages using noice.nvim, but it would be nice to have better defaults.

Research direction

Start by tracing where the Committing... and Couldn't commit messages are emitted in the Neogit plugin, then review the issue discussion for agreement on which messages should be removed or made optional. Done means the default commit flow is less noisy while still communicating failures clearly, with the relevant behavior covered by existing tests if available.
