It is intended.
"git status $args" was designed as "show me what happens if I
ran 'git commit $args' now", and because a commit is a whole
tree operation,
It is a different matter if the intention matches the
expectation you picked up from somewhere on how "scm status"
should work (it most likely doesn't). It also is a different
matter if it is justifiable to have such a mismatch.
