git status "short circuit"?

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?

P.S.: I'm not subscribed, please Cc.

Latest version of the bash completion package has a dirty prompt
setting you can enable.  Grab it out of the git repository and try
it out.
