git status "short circuit"?

I have a prompt snippet that shows me if there's something staged/ changed/untracked (as different characters).

It parses the output of git status. Since I don't really need to know *all* that is staged/dirty/untracked, I was wondering if there's something faster I could use. Something that stops at the first occurrence of each category, perhaps.

Any ideas?
