This script shows an approach to conditionally prepending text using sed. If git status -s has output, then the arguments to this script will be prepended:

$ cd /repo/with/changes
$ git-status-prepend "status for /repo/with/changes"
status for /repo/with/changes
?? an-unknown-file
 M a-modified-file
 M another-modified-file
$

When there are no changes, git status -s has no output, and the argument text won't be output:

$ cd /repo/without/changes
$ git-status-prepend "status for /repo/without/changes"
$
