The following patch fixes the fact that two colors of the status output could not be configured in .git/config.

The color of the current branch could not be modified because of the name WT_STATUS_ONBRANCH having been changed to WT_STATUS_LOCAL_BRANCH.

The color of the remote branch was not defined at all.

By the way, when I do 'git status' instead of git 'status -sb' the local and remote branch do not get colored. Is this a desired behavior?
