I was working on this and had a doubt. Shall a folder containing files
with only unknown and ignored status can be tersed as unknown?
An example for this is a folder containing .py and .pyc files from
which .pyc files are ignored.

The similar thing applies for modified, and added files. Do we want to
make all the statuses mutually exclusive to each other while tersing
OR can some of them exist together and we add the behaviour to use
--verbose to consider the ignored files. Can we do something else
also?

In my opinion the first one will be straightforward for users to
understand. The later one might result in some confusion.
