 For every file in a directory of my working tree,
 I want to obtain a quick "status" summary (ideally,
 recursively, i.e. descending into each sub-directory):
 E.g., not-tracked, latest modification is not in
 the index, latest modification is in the index,
 not-modified, and so on.  As a hypothetical example
 (`# comments' added to explain what the line means):

    $ git some-cmd
    ? foo      # not-tracked
    - bar      # tracked, not-modified
    M xyzzy    # tracked, last modification not-in-index
    I plover   # tracked, last modification in-the-index
     ...
    $

Hopefully Shawn will unveil his tool soon, and I expect there may be
some discussion about the preferred format.
