Description Kai Willadsen 2012-09-21 21:21:00 UTC 
It looks like git status --porcelain --ignored should give us much, much easier parsing while shelling out less than we currently do. This requires a dependency update to 1.7.2, released in June 2010.
Comment 1 Kai Willadsen 2015-01-10 22:30:45 UTC 
Our git status parsing is actually pretty robust at this point. Shelling out less would be nice, but just isn't that big a deal at the moment, and I'm terrified that if we updated to this we'd find half a dozen new corner cases to work around.
