It is intended. "git status $args" was designed as "show me what happens if I ran 'git commit $args' now", and because a commit is a whole tree operation, It is a different matter if the intention matches the expectation you picked up from somewhere on how "scm status" should work (it most likely doesn't). It also is a different matter if it is justifiable to have such a mismatch. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
