Git status silently fails in a repository with no commits.

[JarrahGos]

When running the following code on a repository with no commits but staged or untracked content status.IsClean() return true and status.String() returns an empty string. (error checking done, but excluded from example)

status, err := wt.Status()
fmt.Println(status.IsClean())

Normal git functionality is to return the following:

user@work(master|●1…)> git status                                                          
On branch master

Initial commit

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)

	new file:   name.tex

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

	file
	mothen
	name.pdf
	name.txt
	one.tex
	second
	tags
	three.tex
	two.tex
	unclean

user@work(master|●1…)> git l 
fatal: your current branch 'master' does not have any commits yet
user@work(master|●1…)>

@JarrahGos Thank you for reporting this. We will look into the issue.

I am facing the same issue with Git Bash

Today i have initialized git using git init
and checked status using git status

It is showing No commits yet instead of Initial commit

@ganesh-sadanala That's git expected behavior. git init does not create any commit. Anyway, this repository is about go-git, not git itself.
