add support for ignored repositories list #46763

[avbhatt]

Issue #46763
I added a new configuration property that takes in an array of repo path strings and ignores those repositories, if they exist. A reload is required after editing the settings file for the repo to be ignored.

In the example below, I initially have two repositories open: settings and vscode. Changing the ignoreRepositories property to an array containing the path to the settings repo and then reloading causes it to disappear from the sidebar, leaving only the vscode repo. Changing this back to null (or anything else) brings the settings repo back into view.

Hi, could you please add support of relative git.ignoredRepositories path? So it could be possible to add ignored repository in the following way:

"git.ignoredRepositories": ["./openwrt"]
or 
"git.ignoredRepositories": ["${workspaceFolder}/openwrt"]

instead of

"git.ignoredRepositories": ["/home/username/some/absolute/path/openwrt"]
