Not having settings directly stored in .vscode directory in the
repository/having the files ignored there is a problem when you build in
a separate builddirectory and you regularly do a full reset of your
sourcedir using "git clean -fdx" and similar. If you had any
folder-settings, you'd lose them that way.
VS Code doesn't really have a mechanism to include and then extend
repository defaults, but it has three different tiers where settings are
pulled from: folder, workspace and user
For LibreOffice core repository there are no folder settings as our
.vscode is not populated (or at least it is not stable), a user can of
course place a settings.json or other configuration files in their
checkout, just with the "git clean" problem mentioned above.
This patch adds a workspace configuration - that file can be stored
anywhere and instead references the folders to use as configuration
items. If you want to add your own launch configuration or tasks: you
can just store it on your desktop, and can completely wipe out your
builddir as well as prune your srcdir - if you reuse the same paths for
your next build, you can simply reopen that workspace file and have all
your settings applied.
Having it part of the core repository and created by configure from the
template is thus just a convenience thing - it has a launch-in-debugger
rule and settings for code search/browsing that should be all that's
needed/all that's specific to LibreOffice at least.
