+If `--branch` is given, a header line showing branch tracking information

+
+    Field       Meaning
+    --------------------------------------------------------
+    <xy>        The staged and unstaged values described earlier, with
+                unchanged indicated by a "." rather than a space.
+    <sub>       The submodule state. "N" when the entry is not a submodule.
+                "S[C][M][U]" when the entry is a submodule.
+                "C" indicates the submodule commit has changed.
+                "M" indicates the submodule has tracked changes.
+                "U" indicates the submodule has untracked changes.
+    <m*>        The file modes for the entry.
+                For unmerged entries, these are the stage 1, 2, and 3,
+                and the worktree modes.
+                For regular entries, these are the head, index, and
+                worktree modes; the fourth is zero.
+    <sha*>      The SHA1 values for the entry.
+                For unmerged entries, these are the stage 1,2, and 3 values.
+                For regular entries, these are the head and index values;
+                the third entry is zero.
+    R<nr>       The rename percentage score.

+
+Where <xx> is "??" for untracked entries and "!!" for ignored entries.
+
+When the `-z` option is given, a NUL (zero) byte follows each pathname;
