It'd be great if that was something that was in git > 3.0. I am afraid that anything we propose today would be too late for the 3.0 breaking changes list, but a new optional feature does not have to wait for 3.0 at all ;-) I do not know if the format to do so should be .jsonl or .yaml or what, but I agree that machine-readable status output would be a helpful addition for automation. Thanks.
