For very large git repositories, the -u option (an alias for -uall) can sometimes make git status take a large amount of time and CPU.

Would like to have an option (off by default) to ignore individual files in untracked directories, which is the default behavior of git status with no arguments (equivalent to -unormal).

Git: Option to not show files in untracked dirs (microsoft#140755)
b405363 
This option is off by default. When switched on, it avoids passing the
`-u` option to `git status`, which can be significantly faster on huge
repos with the caveat that files in untracked directories will no longer
show as untracked files.

Verification steps:

  • Launch VS Code, and open a folder/workspace that contains a git repository
  • Open the Git output using the Git: Show Git Output command
  • Switch to the "Source Control" viewlet, and press the action to "Refresh" the list of changes
  • Look at the Git output and confirm that you see a git status -z -uall command being executed
  • Open Settings and set the git.untrackedChanges setting to hidden
  • Switch to the "Source Control" viewlet, and press the action to "Refresh" the list of changes
  • Look at the Git output and confirm that you see a git status -z -uno command being executed
