Re: Comments on "status -v"

I think I agree. Especially if doing "git commit -v", the _top_ of the 
status message is what you'd normally be most aware of. I think. 

Well the exactly same reasoning on my part, who keeps tons of
untracked files in his repository, left the patch output there.
Otherwise I have to scroll off a long "untracked files" list to
get to the patch ;-).

But even with that gripe, I'd agree that patch at the end would
be a better choice.  The user asked for a patch so she wouldn't
fail to see it even if many '#' lines precede the patch.  With
the current ordering, '#' lines will most likely be ignored.
