This was my guess, but I wouldn't have needed to guess if there was a
comment in the code ;-).

I don't think you should remove it from the output (no strong opinion).
My point was just that the code looked weird.

I'm fine with both options, with a slight preference for removing them.

That makes sense (indeed, the implementation of status hints was
slightly inspired from what the bash prompt in
contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh does). The next step could be to use
your porcelain there instead of checking manually file existance.
You may want to add a short note about this motivation in the commit
message.
