I noticed that all but one can be dealt with with

    perl -p -i -e 's/status_printf_ln\((.*), ""\);/status_printf($1, "\\n");/'

That is,

-	status_printf_ln(s, GIT_COLOR_NORMAL, "");
+	status_printf(s, GIT_COLOR_NORMAL, "\n");

which does not look _too_ bad.

There is one instance that needs this, though.

-		status_printf(s, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), "");
+		status_printf(s, color(WT_STATUS_HEADER, s), "%s", "");
