I will take care of fixing that, but while at that, I'm surprised that the characters selected to express the various statuses have such a small mnemonic value. `-' would be much more appropriate for removed files, and locally added files should use `+' rather than `@'. How entrenched are the current indicators? is it possible to change them, or will that cause massive breakage elsewhere and/or user outcry?
