Descrizione

Bug Description:

files.exclude is picking up non-workspace root folders when it shouldn't be.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create the following folder structure
dist
src
 |- dist
  1. create a settings.json for
"files.exclude":{ 
    "dist":true 
}

Both dist and src/dist are excluded in Theia, while vscode only excludes dist

This makes it hard to exclude workspace root level folders and not exclude others with same name.

The same applies to:

"files.exclude":{ 
    "*/dist":true 
}

In vscode, that would exclude src/dist while leaving dist, but it doesn't work at all in Theia
