[suggestion] Include commit-ish in git status output

[Mahmoud Al-Qudsi <mqudsi@neosmart.net>]

Hello all,

I hope it is not considered too forward of me for my first post to this list
to be a suggestion on a change to git’s behavior (though not in any
functional manner); but a persistent frustration for me and everyone I’ve
worked with (so, yes, 100% based off of anecdata) has been that the output
of `git status` does not include the commit or commit-ish, and one must
resort to a `git rev-parse HEAD` call.

I apologize unreservedly if this matter has already been discussed and put to
rest; I attempted to search the archives for a reference to this suggestion but
was not met with any matches.

Additionally, if this list is not the right place to make such a suggestion,
then I would appreciate if someone could kindly point me in the correct
direction and apologize for littering.

Thank you kindly,
