Surprise! Hidden -meta.xml files not included in version control operations
Scenario: With "Show meta.xml Files" unchecked, user selects a non-XML-based metadata file, e.g., an Apex class, in the Project window, and invokes "Add to Version Control".
Observed Behavior: Only the class file is added. The cls-meta.xml file is not added, and this cannot be seen in the Project window because "Show meta.xml Files" is unchecked.
Expected Behavior Option 1: The Apex class and its companion -meta.xml file are both added to version control.
Expected Behavior Option 2: The IDE asks if the companion -meta.xml files should also be added. Depending on the user response, the companion files are or are not added.

I still think this is a pretty serious trap for the user. Every so often I have to go through my workspace and gather up meta-xml files that were erroneously excluded from version control.
Is there any appeal against this ticket being prioritized as "minor"?
