`eg status` does not show tracked files with unstaged modifications

[Chris Schoonbee]

Steps to recreate problem with eg (easygit) status command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Create a temporary testing directory e.g.
    $ mkdir -p ~/temp/eg_bug
    $ cd ~/temp/eg_bug
2. Create two text files in the directory. e.g.
   $ echo "this is the first file" > file1
   $ echo "this is the second file" > file2
3. Create a git repository in the directory
   $ eg init
4. Check status
   $ eg status
OUTPUT: Correctly shows two newly created unknown files (as does $ git status)
5. Get git to track the files
   $ eg stage .
6. Check status
   $ eg status
OUTPUT: Correctly shows the two files with changes ready to be committed ("staged") (as does `git status`)
5. Do first commit
   $ eg commit -m "Initial commit"
4. Check status
   $ eg status
OUTPUT: Correctly shows no modified files (as does `git status`)
6. Now modify the two existing files
   $ echo "Add second line" >> file1
   $ echo "Add second line" >> file2
7. Check status
   $ eg status
*UNEXPECTED OUTPUT*: (Pasted from terminal)
    (On branch master)
    (Changes not staged for commit:)
    ( (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed))
    ( (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory))

There is a hint that there are changes not staged for commit but it does not list any files!
Note that `git status` lists both modified files under "Changes not staged for commit:". This is EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR
8. Stage one of the modified files
   $ eg stage file1
9. Check status
   $ eg status
*UNEXPECTED OUTPUT*: (Pasted from terminal)
    (On branch master)
    Changes ready to be committed ("staged"):
         modified: file1

Now it shows the modified file (file1) that is staged but there is no longer even a hint that there is a file with changes that has not been staged (file2).
Note that `git status` shows both modfied files as expected:
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: file1
#
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: file2
#
