the output of `git status` changed in 1.8.5 (2556b996): the
leading core.commentChar prefix ("#" by default) was removed.
Fortunately, there's a config option to restore it
(status.displayCommentPrefix=true) and git provides
a way to set a config option while executing
a git command:
git -c name=value command --options ...
So that mostly restores the expected output.
However, there have been other changes in the output since
the status parser was last updated. There's one other
fix here — "no changes added" is now "nothing added" —
but others may be needed now and more will likely be needed
in future.
The underlying issue is that this data is being parsed
out of human-readable output rather than a machine-readable
format like that produced by git status --porcelain.
