Subject: Teach git status to do "git diff --name-status HEAD"
Message-ID: <aba84270809162340n4ea3f5feqc71d01fa6e035b79@mail.gmail.com>

I just did

$ git checkout -b mdl19-offlinetony
A       README.offline
M       lib/javascript.php
    (...)
A       lib/offline/offlinemoodle.user.js

I *like* this "brief status" style - takes me back to my cvs days :-).
Perusing the source I found show_local_changes() which in turn led me
to trying `git diff --name-status HEAD`. Now, including 'HEAD' in an
alias defined in git config is going to lead to trouble... :-/

I might still make an alias to `git diff --name-status`. This would be
a great thing to have as git status "--brief" IMHO... :-)

cheers,
