One option is to vet a version yourself and disable auto-update, but that's not really feasible to spend time on for most people.

Beyond the core concept, there's also
- A heatmap that colors files based on recency
- Deleted files appear in the tree where they used to be
- A pinned section for files that are not recent but handy
- File history, diff search (pickaxe) and git log -L line/function history available from editor context menu
- File grouping based on the moon phase during the most recent commit (good luck finding alternative software for this)
