If it's not too much work, it would be nice to somehow detect if -u can have any influence at all. For example,

  $ git status bar
  # Not currently on any branch.
  nothing to commit (use -u to show untracked files)

is a bit misleading if 'bar' is tracked because adding a -u won't make any difference.
