Now I have a "OMG?!" reaction to that every so often, where for a brief moment I think something went wrong. A bit silly surely, but I suspect that some other users (especially those new to git) have had similar reactions. Maybe it would be worth letting the user know what's going on? E.g., before suddenly spitting out an un-asked-for status report, let the user know that a status report is following? Why not just do a 'git status' instead of this we-hacked-up-a-quick-status-listing thing? -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
