Having a more informative VC status in ibuffer-vc #23

My impression is that, because ibuffer-vc relies on vc-state to get the status of a file, the column "VC status" in the ibuffer-vc cannot differentiate between the following two situations: (1) a file was modified and the changes were not committed; and (2) the changes were committed. That is, the VC status for both situations is "edited". As suggested by someone here, the function vc-refresh-rate can be used to fix this situation. Still, after using vc-refresh-rate, the VC status does not distinguish whether you pushed the commit or not to the remote repository (in both situations the VC status is "up-to-date"). Is there any way of distinguishing these different states with the "VC status" column in the ibuffer-vc?

Thanks for writing ibuffer-vc. It's an extremely useful package!

This would be an interesting add for sure.
