As far as finding out your status against a remote you will have to use a
network connection and query the remote. There's no way around that.
You can fetch the remote (git fetch) ahead of time, and I suppose get some
reasonable idea of where you stand later.

Try tig, a curses based git explorer http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/

What do you use for mail on the command line?
