Hi Michael, sorry for the duplicate, forgot to reply-all...

But git doesn't exactly let you do this:
I modified some things in git-prompt.sh trying to implement some of what we discussed. Then staged the file and tried git checkout HEAD^^ (or any branch)

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
        contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting

So I don't think it's all that strange to mark the branch as not quite safe to change. The idea (or at least my idea) behind these hints is that it reminds me to do stuff that prevents these "Aborts". I think that that is a useful feature for any user of git.

In this light, would you accept yellow in the branch color to indicate uncommitted staged changes?

Cheers

Simon
