status.showUntrackedFiles no isn't taken into account

Version info

• OS: Ubuntu 22.04
• Build: 2074

Description

The configuration git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no makes git status not show untracked files. But Sublime Merge ignores this and still shows untracked files.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any repository which contains untracked files
2. Run git config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no (the configuration can be checked in the file .git/config)
3. Run git status, the untracked files shouldn't be shown anymore.
4. See that Sublime Marge still shows them.

I ran through these steps and could reproduce this issue

This or the unofficial option gui.displayuntracked from git-cola is very important for dotfiles repositories (any other repo with a large amount of untracked files)

Current smerge tries to list all of those untracked files and register inotify watchers for them (quickly running into the limit), making everything extremely slow
