Ok, I'll revert the jgit implementation then. The reason to remove it was
that native
git has stable support to get the status in a fairly easy-to-parse format -
this allows
us to use newer git features, which jgit implements much later (worktrees
are a
good example).

jgit didn't work with worktrees for a loong time. I think it does have some
support for it now though.

I hear you, I'll revert to jgit asap, sorry for the problem. #14785.
