overview showed dirty and ahead/behind per project, which git can do on
its own. mgsh is the only thing that sees both the local base directory
and the ssh server, and joining those answers the questions git cannot:
which projects were never pushed to the server (candidates for `init`),
and which exist there but not on this machine (candidates for `clone`).
Both lists are printed after the summary. An unreachable server is
reported as such, rather than as "everything is missing".
Each row also names the machine that made the last commit and how long
ago. That costs nothing: `push` has always stamped "[user@host]" into
the commit message, and nothing ever read it back. On a setup spanning
several machines it is usually the piece one actually wanted. Rows also
show which mirror targets the repository has a remote for, which is
local git config and therefore free.
The walk is now concurrent and cheaper per project: `git status
--porcelain=v2 --branch` yields branch, upstream, ahead/behind and dirty
in one subprocess where three were used before.
