How do I list just the files that would be committed?

Viewed 37448

Is there any way to get a list of files that will be committed when I type the following?

git commit -m "my changes"

git status lists too much. I could strip out all the words, but I'd rather not. And I don't want to be told about untracked files.

I've tried

git ls-files -md

but that doesn't show files that have been recently added, but not yet committed.

I'm looking for the same output you'd get from

svn status -q

For example $ svn status -q
A file.py
M dir/database.py
M start.py
