Before I scrolled to see this part I was already thinking "=" is unmodified, "*" is fine for modified since that's what it means for buffers. If you think that the Emacs association of "=" with diff is too strong (I don't have a problem keeping those straight, actually; in modes where quick access to diff is useful I pronounce "=" as "equalp", YMMV, but that's my mnemonic), how about "#" for modified (looks like "not equal"), or "!"? > "+" added, but not yet committed > "-" deleted, but not yet committed 2 * (+1)
