    Description

      When selecting "Git" -> "Local Repository" -> "Status" from the menu, Creator uses the command "git status -u". This will list each and every untracked file in the repository's checkout directory. When a project was built inside that directory - which is the default when opening a project in Creator - this will be a list of dozens or even hundreds of lines. That's pretty distracting when users just want to see whether their local branch is up to date with the remote branch.

      I'd prefer to remove the "-u" from the command which will still list untracked files and directories but not all individual untracked files inside an untracked directory.
