My prayers have been answered.
Seriously though, this has been requested for ages and is so clearly a feature benefits a lot of users (even when being opt-in) while probably being easy to implement. I'm so glad they finally did.
This is not a good thing, since it seems the file are still there. I still need to add them to my `.gitignore`. If they are there and I ask to see all files, I want to see them.
Surely with Apple's new file system, the need for these files will go away, right? I'm sure they can bake whatever metadata these directories need right into the fs.
Now, if only there's a way of displaying folders first in Finder..
