Well, I wanted to know if git status was the right tool to detect a
working directory with no changes to commit. So I tried it in the
shell, and it failed. I then read the man page. For me, it would be
fine to document the current behaviour (i.e. in practice "git status
-a > /dev/null" would be what I would use in scripts anyway). To be
honest the current behaviour was not something I would have guessed.
Thanks to all for paying attention to my complaint,
David
