And don't forget: all this will only happen if the setting "Recurse into
unversioned folders" in Settings->Dialogs2 is deactivated.
If that setting is activated, the user will also see all the unversioned
files inside that unversioned folder.

The settings is off by default to speed up the status fetching process
for the commit dialog.
