Subject: [PATCH] MT#15803 Introducing the new function to provide current
 branch status

Previously we guessed the status of current branch by parsing
'git status' output. Unfortunately we have to care about a
corner cases in this way. In the same time we can easily
consider current branch status comparing commits.

Introducing the new function to provide current branch status:
up-2-date, ahead, behind or diverged with origin.
