That's the one, thanks.

Gareth, do you remember this patch? I've applied it locally and I
don't see the point of struct status_item tag member. Could you
explain? Also the --describe-only option numbers columns from zero,
which is perfectly logical for a hacker, but not so good for more
general users. I think starting from one would be better.

Going back to my original plan to change the status output, it appears
that nothing ever appears between the '+' for history in column 4 and
the '*' in column 8. That's 3 columns that are always empty. Is
there a reason, some plan to show "bin" perhaps? I'd quite like to
put 'S' into one of those columns.
