Nice attention to detail here and below in handling "unset" and "!arg"
cases.  I think should be STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, though, which is what the
old code used to do (since "0" is the usual special value for --no-*
options). It only matters if you do:

   git status --no-porcelain

Right now that will switch to the long format, regardless of your
config. With your path it defaults to any configured value. It's
probably a case that nobody hits ever, but in the absence of a good
reason to do otherwise, I'd stick with the current behavior.

Good catch. I'll make it _NONE.

This silently allows:

   git status --porcelain="1 for the money"

and later:

   git status --porcelain="2 for the show"

Probably not a big deal in practice, but since the list of formats is
constrained, we don't really care about parsing arbitrary numbers.
So:

   if (!strcmp(arg, "1"))
	*value = STATUS_FORMAT_PORCELAIN;

is actually simpler, and more robust.

I also wondered if:

   git status --porcelain=v1

is more self-documenting about the meaning of "1". It's purely
aesthetics, but it somehow looks better to me. Matching that is also
much easier with pure strcmps.

I wondered about making it =v1 rather than just =1. It seemed
more aesthetically pleasing, even if it was an extra character
to type.  In a later email in this thread you mention a JSON
option.  If I switched this here to be "=v1" and "=v2", it would
be easy later to have a "=j2" or "=v2j" to do that.

I wonder what happens if you pass a "wt_status" with a format of "SHORT"
to the long-formatting code.

I think it is ignored completely, as you are just now introducing the
s.status_format field. But I wonder if there is room for further cleanup
in pushing the big switch statements from run_status() and cmd_status()
into wt-status.c.

I'll look into that.
