Result looks like:

 # Changes to be committed:
 #   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
 #
 #       new file:   foo.c
 #
 # Changes not staged for commit:
 #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
 #   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
 #
 #       modified:   foo.c
 #
 # Untracked files:
 #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
 #
 #       bar.c

which is both clearer and more consistent.  So for what it's worth,
