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."

That's what I suspected, thanks for clearing that up.  It definitely
feels more like a step towards a built-in commit than a useful command
on it's own.  It plugs right into this work, so as such, it's been a
success.
