 (2) audit all the scripts to make sure they do not get upset if
     we add trailing +/- to the status letter, and do that
     unconditionally, like the attached patch does.

Cogito will get upset since we assume the mode field is one-char in our
regexps, and when we don't, we compare the mode field with strings and
that would obviously fail if you add random stuff to it.

Otherwise, I like this idea, though.

Likewise.  If it was not obvious, I am not going to commit that
myself.  If jdl or somebody cares enough, he or she can prepare
a a set of patches to git-core, Cogito and StGIT (at least these
three should be covered) to teach them the trailing +/- letter,
_and_ parrot my patch back at me.  Hint, hint...

Well, or it can just add the option to Core Git. Just unconditional
implementation of (2) is no-go because it would break backwards
compatibility, which is baaad.

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.  I think
I have forgotten this before.
