now whether to fix it and break compatibility, or leave it broken...

I think the purpose of the patches that started this thread was to admit
that 1965ff7 (add --porcelain option to git-push, 2009-06-22) was not well
thought out, and to break compatibility to fix it.

Having said that, I would say that what 1965ff7 specified was only these
two:

    = TAB refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master TAB [up to date]
    - TAB :refs/heads/foobar TAB [deleted]

also these

X TAB ...
! TAB ...
* TAB ...
+ TAB ...
SPACE TAB ...

I'll respond to this message with another iteration of the patch.
