I agree. This kind of status information makes the whole index concept
an order of magnitude less confusing. In a way, it lets you learn what
the index is by example, rather than first having to learn what it is
in order to be able to grok the status information.
Fitting this in 80 columns should be a funny excercise, though. :-)
I'd suggest printing the filename last:
HEAD->index index->files
------------------------------------------------
unmodified modified hello.c
modified unmodified world.c
new unmodified frotz.c
...
??? n/a garbage.c~
