Description

When the remote server returns files that are not available locally, they are simply hidden from the results locally. That kinda makes sense, after all the file does not exist. However that issue could be fixed by a simple git fetch --all for the most part. So we could show a warning that certain files were not shown locally and it might be fixed by getting the latest version from the server
