In a solution to a challenge in Episode 3 we say it would be good practice to check the status of the current directory just before issuing git init. But this practice is not actually shown in the lesson.

As a side-effect, the lesson actually introduces git status without being explicit about it.
I find this a bit underhands.

And also, Episode 4 first uses git status in a context where it says "If we check the status of our project again".
I believe we should admit that we are introducing git status in Episode 3 already.

Make it clear that git status is introduced in Episode 3 (issue swcar… 
…pentry#685)

- actually teach the good practice of running ``git status`` before ``git init`` to avoid nested repositories
- be clear that ``git status`` is introduced in Episode 3, not 4
- show the contents of a .git sub-directory
- minor re-wordings in Episode 3
