Harald Nordgren 68791d7506 status: clarify how status.compareBranches deduplicates ...

The order of output when multiple branches are specified on the
configuration variable was not clearly spelled out in the
documentation.

Add a paragraph to describe the order and also how the branches are
deduplicated.  Update t6040 with additional tests to illustrate how
multiple branches are shown and deduplicated.
