• use current directory if no source_dir is provided
• print message if no suitable git repositories found
• print up-to-date directories as well

• git remote update is added to L28 to fetch remote refs . (most probably will slow down the script)

I just read the blog post about this, wanted to let you know you can make it work just find on OSX and other non-GNU find systems by adding a . to the first find command.
