The script runs

   git ls-files -d -m -o -t --with-tree=HEAD

to get a parseable "git status"-like output. If I leave out
--with-tree=HEAD, I do not get information about staged changes.

I could use "git diff --name-status HEAD", but then there was a problem
about untracked files, I think.


Thanks,
Anders.
