Merge branch 'ks/status-initial-commit'

"git status" has long shown essentially the same message as "git
commit"; the message it gives while preparing for the root commit,
i.e. "Initial commit", was hard to understand for some new users.
Now it says "No commits yet" to stress more on the current status
(rather than the commit the user is preparing for, which is more in
line with the focus of "git commit").

* ks/status-initial-commit:
  status: contextually notify user about an initial commit
