I suppose that's better than nothing, but I can't help but think that
the output would be more useful if it explicitly mentioned the merge.
Most sensible people probably already have that in their bash prompt,
of course, but we have some users at $dayjob who use the anemic
windows cmd.exe as their "command shell".
So how about something like this:
$ git status
# Merging branch 'master' into topic
# Changes to be committed:
#
# modified: file2
The "branch 'master' into topic" part can come
from .git/MERGE_MSG
