"Waiting for initial commit" is much better even in this case, but I
still don't like that "initial", though I can't say why, and don't
have any better suggestion either.  Though users experienced enough to
create an empty unborn branch would probably not be confused by that.

I agree. If the state we are describing is limited to the current
branch, how about saying so? Like "Your current branch has no commits".

Actually, something like "does not yet have any commits" might be
better.

There is a slight complication, though. There's similar text in "git
status -sb", which shows:

  ## Initial commit on master

Should that also change to use consistent terminology? If so, we need a
phrasing short phrasing that matches (and the --porcelain and
--porcelain=v2 formats of course would need to remain the same).
