Toggle for Automatic and Manual Git Folder Detection in File Explorer

[Tiktack]

Description:
Currently, File Explorer requires users to manually select folders to enable Git-related features. While this approach works well for developers working within a single repository, it becomes inefficient for those handling multiple repositories. Manually selecting each repository is time-consuming and disrupts workflow.

Feature Request:
Introduce a toggle option in File Explorer that allows users to choose between:

• Automatic Mode: File Explorer detects Git repositories and provides related features automatically. This may lead to redundant network requests to repositories, but some users may not mind.
• Manual Mode: Users manually select folders where Git features should be enabled. This prevents unwanted network requests for repositories that are not actively managed.

Benefits:

• User Control: Developers can decide whether to enable automatic detection or manually specify which repositories should have Git features.
• Performance Considerations: Manual mode ensures that only selected folders trigger Git-related features, helping avoid unintended performance impacts.

    A potential feature extension might be to: have one or more filesystem path exclusion/re-inclusion lists for automatic mode.

Maybe you specify only the folder where all of your repos are stored.
