Better keep it; some people's scripts could depend on it.

Seriously?  Why don't we remove it and see if somebody yells?  It's more
of an implementation detail than most other git commands; if you need
status output in your script why wouldn't you just run git status?

As the author of builtin-runstatus, I had always intended that it was a
temporary part of the transition to a C git-commit, and would go away
then. But I see in the interim somebody documented it.  It should
perhaps have been called git-status--helper, and the documentation
should have read "DO NOT USE THIS."

So certainly my intent was for it to go away, but whether it has become
something else is perhaps up to others to judge.
