OK, I do not think Ramkumar's patch hurts anybody, but dropping the
"nothing on the command line defaults to 'status' action" could. So
let's queue the patch as-is at least for now and leave the default
discussion to a separarte thread if needed.
Please don't do that, because it breaks test 41 in
t7400-submodule-bash. I'll add a hunk to remove the test and send a
patch tomorrow.
Thanks.
Ram
