That is because it _is_ two times different: between working directory
and the index, and between index and HEAD. git-status _will_ show you
the same for the same reason.

Besides, why do you want to hide this "duplication"? It shows how the

Besides, it looks like you are using "friendly" where you actually
wanted to say "I consider you too dumb to know what happens". Someone
may feel offended
