Re: [RFC/PATCH] status: Add a new NUL separated output format

Julian Phillips [off-list ref]:

I didn't use "-" instead of " " as that seemed out of scope for a output
formatting option.  Though I don't personally have an objection to it, I
also don't see a particularly strong need for it as with the -Z format
there is no ambiguity.

Good point.  OK, the combinaation of -Z and a switch to list ignored
files should solve Emacs VC's problem.  

Having some sort of JSON dump might still not be a bad idea.
