I guess this should be trivial (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll try when I find time. In case I make the change which of the following message should replace the message 'Initial commit' ? (this could be a poll, I guess)

1. No commit yet
2. Waiting for initial commit
3. Your current branch does not have any commits
Further what is to be done about the following comment,

There is a slight complication, though. There's similar text in "git status -sb", which shows: ## Initial commit on master Should that also change to use consistent terminology? If so, we need a phrasing short phrasing that matches (and the --porcelain and --porcelain=v2 formats of course would need to remain the same).

BTW, could anyone provide a pointer to the implementation that prints this message ?
