Coming from Windows I'm thinking of something similar to the TortoiseGit overlay icons for Windows Explorer:

We have a separate Git plugin in the works that may address some of this:

I'll close this in favour of jupyterlab/jupyterlab-git#124.

If there's anything which needs changing in jupyterlab to support this, then this issue can always be reopened...
