As I just discussed with Aleix on irc, thats not going to be a
good-enough solution as at least --porcelain for git status was only
implemented in 1.7 (which was first released end of February 2010). IMHO
we do need to support git versions that are 1.5-2 years old which means
everything since 1.6.0.1 (roughly) and hence we have to be able to parse
--porcelain as well as --short output for git status.

Other git-parameters things will also need to be checked for being
available in 1.6.0.
