- Currently this is identical to --short output, but is guaranteed
- not to change in the future, making it safe for scripts.

+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The porcelain format is similar to the short format, but is guaranteed
+not to change in a backwards-incompatible way between git versions or
+based on user configuration. This makes it ideal for parsing by scripts.
+The description of the short format above also describes the porcelain
+format, with a few exceptions:
+
+1. The user's color.status configuration is not respected; color will
+ always be off.
+
+2. The user's status.relativePaths configuration is not respected; paths
+ shown will always be relative to the repository root.
+
+There is also an alternate -z format recommended for machine parsing. In
that format, the status field is the same, but some other things
