Two nits:

 - Please use --porcelain (implied by -z in the absence of another
   format option) instead of --short.  --short is meant to be human
   readable and details of the output might change some day.

 - Depending on what you're trying to do, you might find the output
   from other commands such as "git ls-files -s" or "git diff-files"
   easier to work with.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
