I do not use this feature myself, but I would think that it should
respect the same DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES flag (or a parallel flag)
that we already hook into "--untracked={all,normal}".
IOW, given:
git init
mkdir untracked ignored
>untracked/file
>ignored/file
echo ignored >.git/info/exclude
I would expect:
$ git status --short --ignored --untracked=normal
?? untracked/
!! ignored/
$ git status --short --ignored --untracked=all
?? untracked/file
!! ignored/file
I do not know if anybody cares about the distinction, but optionally we
could give --ignored its own selector, like:
$ git status --short --ignored=all --untracked=normal
?? untracked/
!! ignored/file
where obviously it would default to "none" (whereas untracked defaults
to "normal"). But the behavior with Antoine's patch is:
$ git status --short --ignored --untracked=normal
?? untracked/
!! ignored
$ git status --short --ignored --untracked=all
?? untracked/file
!! ignored
which seems wrong to me for two reasons:
1. It does not recurse for ignored but untracked entries. Neither does
the current code, but I think it should.
2. It loses the trailing slash from the ignored directory in both
cases (which is printed by the current code).
