Add a notification in the command prompt specifying whether you're ahead of
(>), behind (<), diverged from (<>) or at (=) your upstream.  This is
especially helpful in small teams that (forget to) push to each other very
frequently.

I hate to get all feature-bloat on you...

But could it state the number of commits as well please? :) :)

I like the idea of ahead, at, behind, and diverged

but I would want to use unicode/utf8  as my terminal supports it, would use it.

⇅	UPWARDS ARROW LEFTWARDS OF DOWNWARDS ARROW is diverged.
↑	UPWARDS ARROW master is ahead.
↓	DOWNWARDS ARROW is master is behind.
