Highlight new, tracked files in working copy

julienvincent · julienvincent · commit f9a676d143f0 · 2025-08-06T11:03:59.000+02:00
Currently nvim-tree doesn't highlight new, tracked files in the working
copy/directory.

This change assigns the `NvimTreeGitFileNewHL` highlight to the `" A"`
git porcelain status marker.
