<dd>
emitted after the commit action has completed
</dd>
<dt>vcsStatusChanged()</dt>
<dd>
emitted to indicate a change of the overall
        VCS status
</dd>
<dt>vcsStatusMonitorAllData(dict)</dt>
<dd>
emitted to signal all VCS status
        (key is project relative file name, value is status)
</dd>
<dt>vcsStatusMonitorData(list of str)</dt>
<dd>
emitted to update the VCS status
</dd>
<dt>vcsStatusMonitorInfo(str)</dt>
<dd>
emitted to signal some info of the
