This is not exactly true, since the list of command line options of
the new "status" are different. For example, the change affect people
who've been taught to always use "git commit" and "git status" with
-a.
I suggest s/pathspec/argument/ in the sentence above:
* "git status" is not "git commit --dry-run" anymore. This change does
not affect you if you run the command without argument.
