I am using renderer.icons.glyphs.git on a daily basis, but the "ignore" icon seems superficial and distracting especially in repos with a lot of ignored paths.

The solution is to set renderer.icons.glyphs.git to whitespace, e.g. " ", however, when git icons are right-aligned and the longest name in nvim-tree window is ignored, this adds unnecessary whitespace to the right:

Setting the icon glyph to an empty string "" doesn't solve this, because then the whole set of icons is disabled due to this condition:

Describe the solution you'd like
If the point of this condition is to only save compute, would it make sense to remove it or somehow improve the logic such that it is possible to achieve the above?
