The existing message, "Initial commit", makes sense for the commit template
notifying users that it's their initial commit, but is confusing when
merely checking the status of a fresh repository (or orphan branch)
without having any commits yet.
Change the output of "status" to say "No commits yet" when "git
status" is run on a fresh repo (or orphan branch), while retaining the
current "Initial commit" message displayed in the template that's
displayed in the editor when the initial commit is being authored.
Correspondingly change the output of "short status" to "No commits yet
on " when "git status -sb" is run on a fresh repo (or orphan branch).
A few alternatives considered were,
* Waiting for initial commit
* Your current branch does not have any commits
* Current branch waiting for initial commit
The most succint one among the alternatives was chosen.

Change(s):
* Added the corresponding change to short status that was
missing in the previous patch.
* Fixed broken tests
Note: This is my last attempt to try sending patches using my
email client in case this one is also line wrapped, please let
me so that I could avoid sending through my email-client altogether.
I'm trying this because I forgot to turn off line wrapping in my
email-client while sending previous patches. Hope it works!
