Basically, you just have two different products (normal and advanced). 
So you have the same interface for it. It's just some additional 
information for you product or what ever. You only need another view for 
the model e.g. a detail-view or an other list-view (just for the entry 
in the list). But you need a good design for DirectoryRepository-Model... ;)

For your DirectoryRepository you might need something like a 
GitFile-Object extending the File-Object...
