Issue

I have about 60 or so externals on a remote project (using the ssh remote extension) and it is causing the extension to be slow at updating the status of all the externals. I am trying to find a way to filter the list of externals being shown in the "Source Control" side view to the one I need.

I am using the "svn.detectExternals": false,for the time being, but I would like to see some of them since not all are static externals.

I tried using the "svn.ignoreRepositories" with full path similar to /path/to/folder/containing/externals/* since I want ot remove more than 20 externals folders. I also tried "svn.multipleFolders.ignore".

None of them where able to shorten the list of external in the "Source Control` view.

I am sure there is a way and that I am not the first one to do this. Looking through the issues helped me in my experiments, but nothing seemed to worked.

This is the list I want to shorten and make manageable.

Thanks

When listing the externals in the ignoreRepositories option in the current (2.15.2) version you need to specify both the absolute path with a trailing slash and without the trailing slash. Each path is treated as a string and must match exactly, but sometimes the path has a trailing slash internally.
