Yes, "git ls-files -t -d -m -o --directory" does something like "otherscmyouknowwho status". But it's plumbing, and the most obvious porcelain place for such functionality is "git status", followed by "git diff". I do understand that "git status" is mostly "git commit --dry-run". But shouldn't we have something like Martin suggested readily available (including, optionally, untracked or ignored files).
