Description
Code follows the gedit tradition of saving backup~ files while editing (until the tab is closed).
Coming from macOS, this behavior feels a little alien to me, and it's redundant since my files are usually managed by git. It also clutters up my `git status` while I have Code open.
I propose an option to disable this feature altogether, or maybe it could be moved to a plugin that can be disabled.
