`git status` output has changed in git 1.8.5

[mhobbs-8B]

In git versions > 1.8.4, the output of git status has changed such that the lines no longer have a "#" comment prefix by default. (See status.displayCommentPrefix in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config) As a result, Repo.untracked_files() no longer parses the lines correctly. It seems that the --porcelain option to git status is specifically designed for this type of use.

Oh, I've just opened another issue with a patch for the same problem: #138
Both issue should probably be merged together.

#138 was verified to be working, which should make this a non-issue as well.
