Yes, this might be a good idea, although after the commit is perhaps too
late.
Before the commit I thought we have git-status output in the
commit log buffer.
Ah,...
We had that old issue of "'M foo' cannot tell content or mode
changes (or both)", and people suggested "M+" and such which
were rejected because Porcelains and people's scripts depended
deeply on "diff --name-status" output being stable.
