Re: wishlist: git gui not listing untracked files in unstaged list

Many projects are organized so that the result of compilation is mixed with

It would be very useful to configure git gui so that untracked files are not
listed in the un-staged list.
I have patched git gui, function rescan_stage2, line 1414 to do so:
  # set fd_lo [eval git_read ls-files --others -z $ls_others]
  set fd_lo [eval git_read ls-files -z $ls_others]

Shouldn't this line instead be running this:

    ls-files --others --exclude-standard -z $ls_others

so that it would use the usual .gitignore mechanism?
