Description

Recently Automatically detect PR from branch #2158 👍 was implemented and merged, however it doesn't seems like it's possible to disable automatic detection for PRs that were created by me.
In case when I created PR that awaits review from other team member I now get notifications with prompt to pull changes (merge commit from my fork) and comment area in gutter. I would prefer to avoid both of these for my own PRs.

Possible implementation: Implement option that will control automatic PR detection with 2-3 values - "on", "off", and additional "exclude my PRs" for more control.

Research direction

Start by reading the automatic PR detection implementation introduced in #2158 and the extension's configuration surface. Done means users can choose automatic detection on, off, or exclusion of their own PRs, with excluded PRs no longer triggering pull prompts or gutter comments.
