Re: [RFC] status: show tracking branch even no difference

With this patch, "git status" will report relationship between current
branch and its upstream counterpart even if there is no difference.

    $ git status
    # On branch master
    # Your branch is identical to its tracking branch: 'origin/master'.

Why not, but we try to say "remote-tracking branch" instead of just
"tracking". Adding "remote-" in your wording may make the line a bit
long, but it may be sufficient to say

# Your branch is identical to 'origin/master'

That's consistant with other messages like

# Your branch is ahead of '%s' by %d commits

(And this would deserve a test)
