Title: Update Installation instructions for the upcoming git version

as of git version 1.8.5 the default 'git status' behavior is to avoid the '#' prefix (unless you set status.displayCommentPrefix to true). So this change will break :Gstatus command. The easiest work-around is to amend the user's git configuration so it behaves as previous git versions.
