+In short-format, the status of each path is shown as
+
+ XY PATH1 -> PATH2
+
+where `PATH1` is the path in the `HEAD`, and ` -> PATH2` part is
+shown only when `PATH1` corresponds to a different path in the
+index/worktree (i.e. renamed).
+
+For unmerged entries, `X` shows the status of stage #2 (i.e. ours) and `Y`
+shows the status of stage #3 (i.e. theirs).
+
+For entries that do not have conflicts, `X` shows the status of the index,
+and `Y` shows the status of the work tree. For untracked paths, `XY` are
+`??`.
