Adding --depth support to the status command

To follow up on the sparse-directories changes I'm currently adding
--depth support to the status command. Not to difficult, but I have one
question about the expected behavior of status -N.

The notes/sparse-directories.txt document says:

"The -N option becomes a synonym for --depth=files for these commands.
       * checkout
       * switch
       * update
       * status
       * info "

First of all, info doesn't accept -N, so unless there's a reason I don't
know about, we can remove that from this list.

Second, the current behavior of status -N is to show the status of both
files and directories in the target. In 'depth' terms, this is the
equivalent of --depth=immediates.

So should I map status -N to 'status --depth=immediates' to match the
current behavior? Or to 'status --depth=files' to make it consistent
over all commands?

Given -N is now obsolete, I prefer to just match current behavior and
get rid of that flag asap. Anyone who disagrees?
