-The command takes the same set of options as 'git-commit'; it
-shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
-'git-commit'.

-If there is no path that is different between the index file and
-the current HEAD commit (i.e., there is nothing to commit by running

+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+-s::
+--short::
+	Give the output in the short-format.
+
+--porcelain::
+	Give the output in a stable, easy-to-parse format for scripts.
+	Currently this is identical to --short output, but is guaranteed
+	not to change in the future, making it safe for scripts.
+
+-u[<mode>]::
+--untracked-files[=<mode>]::
+	Show untracked files (Default: 'all').
++
+The mode parameter is optional, and is used to specify
+the handling of untracked files. The possible options are:
++
+--
+	- 'no'     - Show no untracked files
+	- 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
+	- 'all'    - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
+--
++
+See linkgit:git-config[1] for configuration variable
+used to change the default for when the option is not
+specified.
+
+-z::
+	Terminate entries with NUL, instead of LF.  This implies
+	the `--porcelain` output format if no other format is given.
 
 
 OUTPUT
 ------
 The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit
 template comment, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'.
+The default, long format, is designed to be human readable,
+verbose and descriptive.  They are subject to change in any time.
 
 The paths mentioned in the output, unlike many other git commands, are
 made relative to the current directory if you are working in a
 subdirectory (this is on purpose, to help cutting and pasting). See
 the status.relativePaths config option below.
 
+In short-format, the status of each path is shown as
+
+	XY PATH1 -> PATH2
+
+where `PATH1` is the path in the `HEAD`, and ` -> PATH2` part is
+shown only when `PATH1` corresponds to a different path in the
+index/worktree (i.e. renamed).
+
+For unmerged entries, `X` shows the status of stage #2 (i.e. ours) and `Y`
+shows the status of stage #3 (i.e. theirs).
+
+For entries that do not have conflicts, `X` shows the status of the index,
+and `Y` shows the status of the work tree.  For untracked paths, `XY` are
+`??`.
