It would be nice to be able to explicitly ask to suppress some of the

often end up doing this by hand in those situations.  I do agree that
doing this by default would be surprising.

Yeah, we already have --untracked-files=<no|normal|all> and a matching
config variable. If there are cases people find useful, I don't see a
reason why we can't make other sections configurable, too. I think it
just somebody to write a patch for the behavior they think makes sense
(or at the very least a concrete proposal).
