It looks like there's a SccStatusBar where Visual Studio's Git related UI lives. I'll see if I can put something into or next to this.

There's a Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Git.Controls.SccStatusbarService in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Git.Controls.dll. I'm guessing this is related.

Here's a dump of ITeamExplorerSection from Visual Studio 2015:

The pertinent section is:

Here's a tree of controls in Visual Studio 2015:

SccStatusBar is added to MainWindow (both are in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI namespace of Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.UI.Internal.dll).

The SccStatusBar seems to be very much a special case, which is the only element to have a TemplatePart attribute defined on MainWindow.

namespace Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI
{
	[TemplatePart(Name = "PART_SccStatusBarHost", Type = typeof(Border))]
	public class MainWindow : CustomChromeWindow, IComponentConnector
