    status: disable display of '#' comment prefix by default · 2556b996

    Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
    that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
    prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
    command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.
    
    Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
    users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.
    
    Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
    comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
    writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).
