"empty" command lines removed from output

[badboy]

I am currently trying to build up some slides for a git talk and I want to include code like the following:

$ git status
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will
#   be committed)
#
# README
nothing added to commit but untracked files present
(use "git add" to track)

However the "empty" # lines are removed which makes the output quite unreadable.

I played around with the Parslet code but couldn't fix it (yet).
