Teach "git status --short --branch" to use "--no-ahead-behind"
flag to skip computing ahead/behind counts for the branch and
its upstream and just report '[different]'.
How come "--short" and "--long" get this smaller bit of data, but
"--porcelain=v2" just omits the line entirely?
I don't have a real preference for or against the "[different]" message
myself, but if we can get the information cheaply, it seems odd not to
provide it in all cases.
I was only thinking of VS usage. But you're right, I can include an
alternate line with eq|neq since we already have the data on hand.

This patch will affect "git status --porcelain", too. That's not
supposed to change in incompatible ways. I guess it's up for debate
whether callers are meant to handle any arbitrary string inside the []
(we already show "[gone]" for some cases), since AFAICT the format of
the tracking info is left completely vague in the documentation.
(I'd also hope that everybody is using --porcelain=v2 if they can, but
we should still avoid breaking v1).
I hadn't intended to alter V1 output. I'll disable the new feature
when V1 is selected.
Thanks
Jeff
