It is remarkable that libgit.a did not sport this function yet... Let's
move it into a more prominent (and into an actually reusable) spot:
wt-status.[ch].

I do not think "truly" is needed at all.

It was not reusable.  It is somewhat reusable after this patch.  It
may or may not be "truly" reusable depending on the need of future
patches, which we do not know yet.

I agree wt-status.[ch] is a good home for this feature.

Thanks.
