. path for "dst"; only exists for C or R.
. an LF or a NUL when '-z' option is used, to terminate the record.

Possible status letters are:

- A: addition of a file
- C: copy of a file into a new one
- D: deletion of a file
- M: modification of the contents or mode of a file
- R: renaming of a file
- T: change in the type of the file
- U: file is unmerged (you must complete the merge before it can
be committed)
- X: "unknown" change type (most probably a bug, please report it)

Status letters C and M are always followed by a score (denoting the
percentage of similarity between the source and target of the move or
copy), and are the only ones to be so.

<sha1> is shown as all 0's if a file is new on the filesystem
and it is out of sync with the index.
