Subject: git status: minor output format error
git version 1.8.3.2
git status in German says (extract)
# geändert: kajongg.py # gelöscht: playfield.py
as you can see, there is one space too much before playfield.py
LANG=C git status is correct: # modified: kajongg.py # deleted: playfield.py
so it seems the spacing between the columns expects "deleted" to have the same number of letters in all languages.

No, the translations control the number of columns in this case (although it's not very intuitive for translators). Something like this may fix it. I haven't tested because I don't have "de" locale installed.

The columns don't match in other related messages, either. Let's see what happens with [1].

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy[PATCH] wt-status: take the alignment burden off translators
It's not easy for translators to see spaces in these strings have to align, especially when there are no guarantees that these strings are grouped together in .po files.
Refactor the code and do the alignment automatically. Let the translator specify how big the alignment is, though, in case some languages need more than 12 columns for the preceding text.

I do not see anything that limits "len" used to show only show the prefix bytes in this array not to ask for more than you have spaces here. It won't overrun the end of this array, but I suspect your result will not align when that happens.

> + width = atoi(_("<wt-status.c:width>"));Somewhat ugly. Wouldn't it work better to keep the "what" strings in a static array and compute "width" just once? Is the sparseness of DIFF_STATUS_* enums what makes such an implementation cumbersome?
I dunno.

Just a style, but this is far easier to read if you said:
if (width > utf8_strwidth(what) + 1) len = width - (utf8_strwidth(what) + 1);
because you are essentially doing:
if (A > B)
x = A - B;Or even
len = width - (utf8_strwidth(what) + 1);
