Generic VCS currently shows all of its utility commands in the status bar and in the Runtime tab. These commands are numerous and unimportant to the user, and they push important information out of the display. For example, opening folders runs numerous CREATE_FOLDER_IGNORE_LIST commands. This is distracting because it makes the user think VCS is doing something, which it often isn't, and pushes the record of important commands out of the Runtime tab. It would be nice to not show utility commands in the status bar at all. In the Runtime tab, we could make one command node for every VCS command, and list the utility commands as subnodes. Also, when the Print Command Output property is set to true, I think the output from the VCS executable should be printed to the Output window rather than the utility commands. Presently, if the user wants to see command output from the executive she has to set the option for each individual command.
