Ah, that is true. The message in the "status" output attempts to tell you that you are about to make the "initial commit", because "status" was not originally a thing (it was just the message when "git commit" gives you while you compose the commit log message). In the context of "status", it probably is more logically correct if it said "No commit yet" or something. This is no longer "is initial harder than root?" ;-)
