Support empty and non-Git folders in WSL, like host folders

Feature summary

Allow adding empty or non-Git folders from WSL, matching the folder-based workflow available on the host.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Adding a WSL folder currently requires a Git repository. This prevents starting work in an empty WSL directory or using an existing folder that is not version-controlled, even though the equivalent host folder workflow does not require Git.

Proposed solution

• Allow adding a folder inside a WSL distribution even when it is empty or not a Git repository.
• Support a folder-backed WSL project/session, just like a host folder.
• Do not require cloning a repository or running git init to add the folder.
• Preserve the existing behavior for WSL Git repositories.

Workflow impact

Enables scratch work, initial project setup, and non-Git tasks directly in WSL without an unnecessary repository setup step.

Installation context

Windows with WSL.

Inizia confrontando il workflow esistente per le cartelle dell’host con il percorso per aggiungere una cartella WSL. Verifica il comportamento per una cartella WSL vuota e per una cartella WSL che non è un repository Git, confermando al contempo che i repository Git WSL mantengano il comportamento attuale; il lavoro è completato quando entrambi i tipi di cartella possono essere aggiunti senza eseguire il clone o git init.
