Not quite a one-liner, but I've implemented something that will show
diffs of staged/unstaged changes as well as the content of untracked
files when pressing Enter on a file in the status view. To update the
status of a file (unstaged->staged, untracked->staged, etc) you now
have to press 'u'.

Hope this helps.
