This is my first time using gerrit not sure I submited this right. This is not a bug but a feature request

I would advice you to not mix repo usage with manual clones.
That said, there is a lack of cleanup features in repo and it can be difficult to restore workspace into consistent state, seehttps://issues.gerritcodereview.com/u/1/issues/40015382 for one example.

Of course it's a bad idea, but sometimes people do it anyway especially in the large busy projects.
That's why this feature will be useful. It will help to identify the manual clones in the large tree and get rid of them

Description
In my project, I have a mix of directories that are tracked by Repo (i.e., they are in the Repo manifest), Git repositories that were manually cloned and thus are not tracked by Repo, and directories that are not associated with any Git repository.
The whole thing is a mess, and I'm trying to clean it up. I am trying to find a method that will effectively find all directories that are not listed in the Repo manifest. This includes both Git repositories that have been manually cloned and non-Git directories.
I'm planning to write a specialized tool to accomplish this, but it would be nice if repo had a feature like this.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. repo status
What is the expected output?
U device/generic/arm45-neon
? device/generic/amiga-1
What do you see instead?
Regular repo status output
