[Feature Request] Fold the sections

[ray-x]

I am wondering if the sections in G can be folded:

One workaround would be add <Tab> before each items in the list, so I can use za to toggle the folding.

Thanks!

Similar feature in other projects:
Folded

Unfolded

I would like it on the record that this issue is essentially "I've made a mess of my my untracked files, please add a feature where I can avoid having to look at the mess I made." There are multiple options at your disposal to deal with untracked files that do not involve changing Fugitive:

• Add them to .git/info/exclude (perhaps using gI).
• Add them to .gitignore (perhaps using 1gI).
• Turn off status.showUntrackedFiles.
• Delete them.
• Move them to a location outside the repository.

That said, this is #1317 again, and I will be following up on my proposal there to mark the relevant syntax groups as foldable.

Feel confused about fugitive doesn't setl foldmethod=syntax and I don't think there is a perf issue for that.

From #1317:

I just removed automatically enabled folding in the status window.

This is when Fugitive stopped doing setl foldmethod=syntax.

Assuming that doesn't ruffle too many feathers then I am fine to add the extra level section of folding since it will only affect those who opt in.

Phrased another way: I think folding sections makes Fugitive worse, so I'm only willing to make it possible if it's off by default.

Got it, thanks for your explanation.
