I suspect you have a botched patch application.

The result of applying up to [PATCH 3/5] does not even have
show_unmerged/show_status in builtin-commit.c.  These two functions are
introduced by [PATCH 5/5] to implement shortstatus.

I've applied what came back on the list on top of 07a4a3b (Fix typos on
pt_BR/gittutorial.txt translation, 2009-07-31) and all five states compile
just fine.

    $ git rev-list 07a4a3b.. |
      while read sha1
      do
            git rev-parse $sha1^{tree}
      done
