Subject: [PATCH] Make cg-status report added/removed files correctly
Message-ID: <d7deh7$sbk$1@sea.gmane.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/d7deh7%24sbk%241%40sea.gmane.org

```
cg-status presently only cares about the cache (by parsing the output of 
git-update-cache and git-ls-files), when it should look at the tree in HEAD.

This patch fixes this, by using git-diff-cache HEAD instead (using 
git-diff-files only to detect the difference between missing files and 
cg-rm'd ones).

It also uses the exclusion mechanism in git-ls-files, instead of parsing 
git-ls-files output, and adds '*~' and '#*' to the list of patterns 
excluded by default.
