Show status of folder's contents #4

Description

If I've modified/added/removed/etc files under a subfolder, I can see in the status bar that the repository is modified, but there is no indication of what folder holds these modifications.

For example, I cloned the PowerToys repo, and made some changes to the doc folder. In this screenshot, you can see the modified and added file statuses, along with the +1~1 in the status bar.

When I browse up to the root folder, I can still see the status bar indication that 1 file is added and 1 file is modified, but the doc folder shows no status. (I propose that the doc folder in this view should show something perhaps Added,Modified)

Finding the dirty files from here would require either leaving File Explorer to run git status, or undertaking an inefficient and time-consuming folder-by-folder walk to find the modified files.

In order to achieve this project's goals of developer efficiency, please aggregate the file status into the parent folder's status. This will allow developers to see at-a-glance which folders contain repo modifications.
