Re: [PATCHv3 3/4] git-status: show short sequencer state

Hrm, how will the existing readers of the output avoid getting
confused by this overloading of "##", which has meant the current
branch information?

  # tokens only?
  $ git status --tree --porcelain
  changed-files

It probably is simpler for parsers of the --porcelain format if you
(1) always used first two bytes as the record type, and (2) avoided
using "##" that is already used for the tree-wide status.

Just a thought.
