Disable git when there is no workspace

[yumeyao]

Situation:

0. I'm working on a workspace that is on a remote file system (NFS/samba).
1. I have multiple displays and I want multiple vscode windows.
2. I know there is split window option but it simply sucks if you use it across multiple displays.
3. I want 2 windows opening some files in the same project/workspace

Now since whenever you open separate windows, the processes are isolated.
So to achieve 3., I need to prepare Window 1 with the workspace, and prepare Window 2 with empty workspace, then drag & drop some files from Window 1 into Window 2.

Now the issue is, Window 2 is still trying to enable git on it. If the project is quite large, it makes the windows extremely slow and sometimes irresponsible because Window 1 and 2 are running git simultaneously, this behavior is stupid as ass.
(and in my case, remote FS makes it even worse)

AFAIC, there're at least 3 ways to solve this issue, and actually I think each should be implemented:

1. Disable git when there is no workspace. - Window 2 never bothers to run git any more
2. single-workspace/environment-multiple-window mode. just advanced split window which enables you really split the window out. (Allow for floating windows #10121)
3. 'temporary settings' or 'process-scope settings' - now we have 'user settings', 'workspace settings', but we do not have 'process-scope settings'. 'process-scope settings' is quite native for classic desktop applications. This would simply allows you disable git in which window you don't want git to be enabled.

since option 2 (#10121) seems a large project, option 3 seems a large project too. Is there just any chance to implement option 1? it can be an option in settings like: git.enabled = whenWorkspaceOpened.

Great description and summary. I like the setting idea, lowest hanging fruit which would help you. Let's do that.

Actually, there's already a setting for this, tho I confess to be pretty hard to come by:

git.autoRepositoryDetection = subFolders

That way, VS Code won't automatically detect repositories by looking at mere open files.
