Hello all,

I noticed a weird output by git when trying to run 'git status' on a newly initialized git repository. It prints the following,

Show 5 quoted lines

> On branch master
> 
> Initial commit
> 
> nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)

What's that "Initial commit" supposed to mean?
