Heh, the above obviously does not make sense. What I meant was "if you
have -z but also --short or something other than --porcelain, -z should
not cause the command to fall back to --porcelain".

Yes, you are of course right; in this case we shouldn't do either normal
nor porcelain; we should do NUL-terminated short output.
