No more reroll if no more votes for “absent" vs "gone", and
"in sync with" vs "up-to-date with". Currently, we choose "gone”
and "up-to-date with", such as:

        $ git branch -v -v
          master    e67ac84 initial
        * topic     3fc0f2a [topicbase: gone] topic

        $ git status
        # On branch topic
        # Your branch is based on 'topicbase', but the upstream is gone.
        #   (use "git branch --unset-upstream" to fixup)
        ...

        $ git status
        # On branch feature1
        # Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
        ...
