First, the description above has to be suitable both for git-commit and for git-status, as both commands share options. Nevertheless those options have slight different meaning: git-status print what is "shown", in git-commit what is "shown" appears in the editor as/in prepared commit message (printed using git-[run]status).

Second, this is last patch in the series... ;-)

Feel free to correct it if you have better idea for description of those options.
