+status.showUntrackedFiles::
+ By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
+ files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
+ contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
+ only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
+ all the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
+ systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays
+ the untracked files. Possible values are:
++
+--
+ - 'no' - Show no untracked files
+ - 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
+ - 'all' - Shows also individual files in untracked directories.
+--
++
+If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
+This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
+of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
