Trivial, but very good idea indeed. I propose the following:
* If the list can be computed, insert/update it
* Otherwise
- If the log buffer doesn't contain the file list, do not print
anything.
- If there was already a message, then replace it with this
<can't compute list>. The user will probably understand since he
will see this message /only/ after seeing the expected behavior.

More complex than it seems, since to compute the list, you need to run
"status" or "diff", which is a rather long operation, and I want to
keep the access to the log buffer instantaneous. A solution would be
to make an asynchronous call, but then this means the process sentinel
would modify the buffer that the user is editing, I don't think that's
a good idea.
BTW, I think this feature should be ported to DVC.
