[PATCH/RFC 2/6] docs: note that status configuration affects only long format

From: Jeff King <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:47:21
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

The short format does not respect any of the usual status.*
configuration.

Signed-off-by: Jeff King <redacted>

Combined with the --short/--porcelain distinction introduced later in
the series, should short perhaps respect status.relativePaths and
status.submoduleSummary? Which would mean replacing this patch with ones
to make those things work. :)
