Nice, I never noticed that -v showed ahead/behind status. Would be nice if branch had a --format option to customize the coloring of the "ahead" / "behind" text so that there was more contrast. It's a lot of information to consume especially with a lot of local branches; coloring would bring some sanity.

Thanks!
