  nothing added to commit but untracked files present

The added blank line before "nothing added" sounds like a good idea.

I won't change the header part in this topic (no time, sorry), but the
missing newline before "nothing added" actually sounds like a bug, as
there is normally a newline after each list of file in `git status`,
except untracked and ignored.

Actually, "nothing added ..." is not a part of status proper; it
will be clear if you run the command with comment prefix, whose
output may end like so:

    # Untracked files:
    #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    #
    #       gomi
    #       kuzu
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

But I agree that the output without comment prefix needs an extra
blank before that line (if that line will be emitted, that is).
