Hm, You mean the status message, which is pre-inserted as comment into
the commit message, when opening an editor to write the commit message?

OK, that really makes a difference, although really small and actually
affecting nothing. I'll take it into account. But are You sure the tests
for this would be actually useful? If only effect of them would be
increasing time needed to run the full test suite, then it's better to
not have them :-). But I can do that, if You still think it's useful.
