[Feature] Let the user change .workspacefolder

[dantearaujo1]

So, i started to use workspace, but i save all my configs file in a specific folder managed by git. I don't know a better way to manage all the configs files of my programs other than that, i would like to set a an user enviroment variable to move .workspacer folder in C:\Users...... to this folder that is located in D: drive. I could make a PR if u want! Just issuing here to know what are your thoughts about this feature. Thanks!

I've done something similar to Emacs, and on Windows you can't really have symlinks.

What I did for emacs (and for other software too) was just to chain-load the git-hosted configuration by having a simple config which just loads/includes the git hosted one by pointing to a fixed path.

Not sure if csharp-scripts has an include-feature, or if we would then have to "invent" it ourselves?

Looking into it, it seems like there is a #load-directive which may be used to solve that need?

you can junction directories on windows, but I don't know if that will work with workspacer

otherwise, if you are managing your dot files in a repo, you could use a powershell script to install them in the correct location whenever you do a git pull with githooks.
