The change may be trivial to code, but as I said, I'd like to see a
clean design first.
What happens when you run another vc-dir, should the same type of

Should the user be able to say: I never want to see unregistered files.
(or some other type???)

I'd like to avoid taking another key if possible.

It would be nice to have a more generic solution, if one is needed.
Someone needs to think about it and justify one way or another.
