If you have a deleted file and a porcelain refreshes the cache, we print: Unstaged changes after reset: M file This is technically correct, in that the file is modified, but it's friendlier to the user if we further differentiate the case of a deleted file (especially because this output looks a lot like "diff --name-status", which would also make the distinction). The plumbing version stays as "needs update" for historical compatibility.
