[Qt-creator] Annoying 'changed text' lines on left of edit screen?

[Eike Ziller]

Hi,

it would be great if we could/would fill this changed text information  
with the information from the version control system, but we don't at  
the moment :)
Red is what changed since last save, green is what changed since file  
was opened.
