Description
### Description
When ignoring or excluding files or folder from git, there is no way to distinguish those files visually. When committing, those files are being shown by a strikethrough, in files tabs there is no why to visualize this (of course without a strikethrough).
### Use case/motivation
I use folders inside my codebase to store files that I do not want to be used by git. It would be convenient if those files or folders could be recognized in NetBeans file tab with a sign or a different font color.

Research direction
Start by locating the NetBeans Files tab and the Git handling that already shows ignored or excluded files with strikethrough during commits. Compare that behavior with file-tab rendering and determine an appropriate visual distinction for ignored files and folders; the work is done when their Git status is clear in the Files tab without using strikethrough.
