Hi,

The status command lists all untracked files by default. This can be quite
expensive (especially when working remotely) when one has, e.g., a build
directory full of temporary files. While one can always add these to .hgignore
or use -q option, I would like to suggest that the status command only lists
top-level directories if there's only untracked files inside, instead of
listing there full content.

Thanks for considering,
Denis
