I tried it and I like it! [Ordinary status could use the same colors for tracking info, they're helpful.]

I also like the fact that --porcelain -b does what it should (unchanged by the patch).

I'm wondering what "git status -b" should do. Currently, "-b" is ignored silently. One may argue it's okay since ordinary status shows tracking info anyways.
