And just make it mimic whatever folks accustomed to "svn st" would expect,

difference between (HEAD, worktree) while at it.

I remember a long time ago you started on a parallel diff walker that
could diff the working tree, the index, and a tree at once. Do you
remember the issues with it?

I think that would be the right tool here to show each file only once,
but with multiple status flags. Something like:

  A M foo

to show that "foo" has been added since the last commit, but there are
modifications in the working tree that have not yet been staged.
