[PATCH 0/3] Respect column.ui in commented status in git-commit

When studying the code, I was nerd-sniped by the commit message of
4d2292e9a9 (status: refactor colopts handling, 2012-05-07)
as I did not understand why it was so important to reset the s.colopts to 0
in builtin/commit.c.

In my adolescent hybris I nearly sent out a patch claiming that line to be
useless and wrong, but then I studied a bit more. After the background story
became clear, I decided to "just write the missing piece", how hard can it be?

I would consider the following three patches a hack, but they work. You can
have untracked files in column mode in the commented text for a commit.

Thanks,
Stefan
