Re: [PATCH v4 0/5] Disable "git status" comment prefix

Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:

One caveat, though.  The name "oldStyle" will become problematic,
when we want to remove some wart in the output format long after
this "no comment prefix by default" series lands.  Some people may
expect setting oldStyle=true would give output from 1.8.4 era, while
some others would expect that it would give output from 1.8.5 era
that does not have comment prefix but still has that wart we will
remove down the line.

I'm fine with any name actually (since it is enabled by default, people
don't need to know the name to benefit from the new output). Maybe
status.displayCommentPrefix was the best name after all.
