While developing and testing the feature, we have observed that not all extensions work well with it. What's special about the new feature is that it opens VSCode on a folder or workspace that is located on a virtual file system. We call this a __virtual workspace__.
We indicate that VSCode is opened on a virtual workspace by showing a label in the remote indicator in the lower left corner, similar to remote windows.
We want to make sure as many extensions as possible work with virtual resources. We aim for a great user experience not just with the the __Remote Repository__ feature, but also all other features leveraging virtual resources, from connecting to ftp-servers to working with cloud resources. Extensions that depend on resources being available on disk should not cause error dialogs.
