Not to hijack my own thread, but FWIW git branch -r shows remote branches in red, but old/new status of a remote branch is ambiguous (could have new stuff, could be out of date). Also, git branch -vv shows remote tracking branches in blue. One could argue it should be red since git branch -r is in red.
But yea, probably best to take this topic to its own thread.
