    status: always show tracking branch even no change · f223459b

    In order to see what the current branch is tracking, one way is using
    "git branch -v -v", but branches other than the current are also
    reported. Another way is using "git status", such as:
    
        $ git status
        # On branch master
        # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
        ...
    
    But this will not work if there is no change between the current
    branch and its upstream. Always report upstream tracking info
    even if there is no difference, so that "git status" is consistent
    for checking tracking info for current branch. E.g.
    
        $ git status
        # On branch feature1
        # Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
        ...
    
        $ git status -bs
        ## feature1...github/feature1
        ...
    
        $ git checkout feature1
        Already on 'feature1'
        Your branch is up-to-date with 'github/feature1'.
        ...
    
    Also add some test cases in t6040.
