--short::
Give the output in the short-format.
+-b::
+--branch::
+ Show the branch and tracking info even in 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
? ? untracked
-------------------------------------------------
+If -b is used the short-format status is preceded by a line
+
+## branchname tracking info
+
There is an alternate -z format recommended for machine parsing. In
that format, the status field is the same, but some other things
change. First, the '->' is omitted from rename entries and the field
and the terminating newline (but a space still separates the status
field from the first filename). Third, filenames containing special
characters are not specially formatted; no quoting or
-backslash-escaping is performed.
+backslash-escaping is performed. Fourth, there is no branch line.
