Attached you see a screenshot of the file list from a 3.0.12 update to 3.1.0-RC1 (its 32k pixels high, which is ~30 screens)
We can not expect a user to find anything he needs to do there, nor expect them to completly read the list.

But in fact the later groups are the most important ones.
So I suggest to change it in the order of "chances to require user interaction"

The current order is:

up_to_date

new

not_modified (folded per default)

modified

new_conflict

conflict

deleted
