Right. I though such a small patch can be provided as is. Anyway, I will take necessary steps to peform better next time.

The question is, would that patch will be applied anyway? I already received some criticism about not applying it. I can only answer that where svn status and git status differ in many cases, there are also similar in some.

For now, I would rather want to see a discus about it (Pro vs Cons).

Other solution I see is add extra config variable like: status.showUntrackedDefault = (no|normal|all) So when you peform 'git status -u' it will be used.

Looks better to me if we really want to have difference between git status vs svn status.

Regards, Borg
