The status message shown for a paren-less branch wasn't so descriptive and was a little confusing. The message has been changed to be more descriptive to users in such a way that it clearly shows the state of the branch / repository. This allows the users to be reminded that they are about to make their initial commit which the previous message didn't seem to do communicate well. A few alternatives were, * No commit yet * Your current branch does not have any commits * Current branch waiting for initial commit Signed-off-by: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaarticsivaraam91196@xxxxxxxxx> --- wt-status.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/wt-status.c b/wt-status.c index 0375484..7bfdde4 100644 --- a/wt-status.c +++ b/wt-status.c @@ -1576,7 +1576,7 @@ static void wt_longstatus_print(struct wt_status *s) if (s->is_initial) { status_printf_ln(s, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), "%s", ""); - status_printf_ln(s, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), _("Initial commit")); + status_printf_ln(s, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), _("Waiting for initial commit")); status_printf_ln(s, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), "%s", ""); } @@ -1746,7 +1746,7 @@ static void wt_shortstatus_print_tracking(struct wt_status *s) #define LABEL(string) (s->no_gettext ?
