Description Robin Rosenberg

When a repo exist at the wortkspace, the scan for changes walks down the .metadata directory. That directory may be huge and usuallu not one wants to commit. We should excluder it somehow.

We could check during sharing the project or cloning a repo if the newly created repository is a direct child of the workspace folder. If yes, we could show an option to add .metadata to .gitignore.
