Yes. I think the problem is that the current output looks more like an error message than a status report. I would find it very pleasant if the output looked more like the output of "git checkout" (no parameters) in the no-files-specified case. Even if people don't know what "M" means on day 1 (although hopefully they don't need "git reset" on day 1), at least it doesn't look like an error message.
