Hi Everyone,
I am new yo git and there are few things I find quite odd. For example,

command "git log --name-status" uses the following letters to indicate
file's status
A  -- Added
B  -- have had their pairing Broken
C  -- Copied
D  -- Deleted
M  -- Modified
R  -- Renamed
T  -- Type changed (mode, time stamp)
U  -- Unmerged
X  -- Unknown

At the same time command "git ls-files -v" use different letters to
indicate the same
H  --  cached
M  -- unmerged
R  -- removed/deleted
C  -- modified/changed
K  -- to be killed
?  -- other

So, depending on which of the commands above are used status "R" could
mean either Renamed or Removed, "M" is either Modified or unMerged,
"C" is either Copied or Changed.

Is it possible to make it consistent across related commands?
