Hello, For every file in a directory of my working tree, I want to obtain a quick "status" summary (ideally, recursively, i.e. descending into each sub-directory): E.g., not-tracked, latest modification is not in the index, latest modification is in the index, not-modified, and so on. As a hypothetical example (`# comments' added to explain what the line means): $ git some-cmd ? foo # not-tracked - bar # tracked, not-modified M xyzzy # tracked, last modification not-in-index I plover # tracked, last modification in-the-index ... $ The `git ls-files' command sort-of seems to almost do what I want, but not exactly. For instance (this is written by hand but based on actual results): $ git version git version 1.6.0.2 $ git ls-files --exclude-standard --others --modified --cached -t ? foo H bar H xyzzy C xyzzy ... $ However, note that some files are listed twice (which is confusing for my purposes), and I'm uncertain I've specified all the magic to see all non-excluded files regardless of their "status". Obviously, once I know the appropriate set of magic I should be able to write a filter to process the output and remove the unwanted duplicates, but I'm wondering if someone has a better suggestion? Generalissimo Goggle didn't find any clews. cheers! -blf- -- “How many surrealists does it take to | Brian Foster change a lightbulb? Three.
