Well, I somehow thought these things are in fixed column format;
mode, ->, sha, stage, and filename are all seperated with either
' ' or '\t'.  So if I copy MN to "1 MN", presumably you would
see this:

    100644 a716d58de4a570e0038f5c307bd8db34daea021f 0 MN
    100644 a716d58de4a570e0038f5c307bd8db34daea021f 0 1 MN

So while I agree that // would also work, I fail to see why you
would even need that.
