How to list files that are pending for commit from a merge, including hand modified files

[Brent Goodrick <bgoodr@gmail.com>]

Hi,

git-ls-files does not seem to show files pending to be committed. The
-m option does seem to work for files that I might have edited outside
of git via an editor, but not all of the other ones pending for merge.
The -t option "seems" to imply that the info would be shown, but only
lists all files in the repo. Only git-status seems to show these files
but in a fashion that makes filtering a bit clunky. Is there some way
in which to get a listing of the files that git-status shows in its
"changes to be committed" section, but not the "Untracked files"
section, short of postprocessing the git-status output with sed/awk
gymnastics?  E.g., the first section of "modified" files and "new
file" type files, but not the junk/ directory:

# On branch work
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#	modified:   .Xmodmap
#	new file:   .some_file
#	modified:   .gitignore
#	modified:   .zone.profile
#	modified:   Vncviewer
#	new file:   bin/gitw-merge-common.sh
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	junk/

Thanks,
Brent
