Why not just do a 'git status' instead of this > we-hacked-up-a-quick-status-listing thing? This is no "quick status listing hack", it is a "We've just refreshed the index regarding this entry, so we should output that this file in the working tree is different from the index now." So you would use the REFRESH_QUIET flag and invoke git-status at the end of git-reset? Hmmm, I don't know if this is good. Isn't typing "git status" the standard reaction to the "OMG?! What's going here?" feeling? And after you've first experienced this, it's something you know. There will not be a second "OMG?!" :) And "locally modified" seems to be less ambiguous than "needs update".
