"git-diff-files $PATH" shows if it is different relative to the
index, "git-diff-index HEAD $PATH" shows if it is different from
the HEAD, and "git-diff-index --cached $PATH" shows if it is
different between index and HEAD. git-status uses the first one
and the third one AFAIR. You say "that need update", so
probably you are interested in seeing the first one only without
the third one.
If you have Git 1.5.1, then:
if git diff-files --quiet $PATH
then
echo Up to date
else
echo Need update
fi
Another more portable way is:
if test -z "$(git diff-files --raw $PATH)"
then
echo Up to date
else
echo Need update
fi

git-rev-list -m HEAD -- "$PATH"
