[PATCH v4 1/4] stat_tracking_info: return +1 when branches not equal

From
JHJeff Hostetler <git@jeffhostetler.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20180108154822.54829-2-git@jeffhostetler.com>
In-Reply-To
<20180108154822.54829-1-git@jeffhostetler.com>
From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com>

Extend stat_tracking_info() to return +1 when branches are not equal and to take a new "enum ahead_behind_flags" argument to allow skipping the (possibly expensive) ahead/behind computation.

This will be used in the next commit to allow "git status" to avoid full ahead/behind calculations for performance reasons.
