What about, "not making any assumptions" about what the user would
think when he views the output of `git status` ? Why not try some
general messages like, 

* Staged changes
* Unstaged changes

instead of the messages such as 

* Changes to be committed, Changes already in the index
* Changes not staged for commit, Changes not yet in the index

which seem to make assumptions about the user who view the output ?

Saying just "staged changes" is definitely accurate. I don't know if
some users would find that too terse, too. The phrase "not staged for
commit" gives more information if you don't know what "staged" means in
the Git world.
