Full-screen magit and restore windows on quit

This allows you to be working with split windows on a project, start magit in full-screen with magit-status, and return to your previous configuration after quitting magit with q.

(defadvice magit-status (around magit-fullscreen activate)
  (window-configuration-to-register :magit-fullscreen)
  ad-do-it
  (delete-other-windows))
(defadvice magit-mode-quit-window (around magit-restore-screen activate)
  ad-do-it
  (jump-to-register :magit-fullscreen))

Also possible with monky for those using Mercurial:

(defadvice monky-status (around monky-fullscreen activate)
  (window-configuration-to-register :monky-fullscreen)
  ad-do-it
  (delete-other-windows))
(defadvice monky-quit-window (around monky-restore-screen activate)
  ad-do-it
  (jump-to-register :monky-fullscreen))
