We have finally closed out the highly upvoted #38878. Please test the feature in your local OS, connected to a remote of some kind, and opening a local folder in vscode.dev

The feature can be enabled via files.excludeGitIgnore: "true"

Some possible testing scenarios:

• Multiroot workspaces with different gitignore files in each
• Git ignores in sub directories
• Adding, deleting, modifying gitignore don't require reloads

The general theme is that if git excludes it then we hide it. The main caveat is git doesn't include something until the gitignore has been committed but the explorer will as it does not have access to the git process.
