Description
- VSCode Version: 1.63.2
- Local OS Version: Windows 10 Pro 20H2
- Reproduces in: Remote - Containers
- Name of Dev Container Definition with Issue:

However the settings related to dotfiles are no longer part of the "User" group of settings, but instead are part of the "Remote" part of the setting.
This causes them to be stored inside the devcontainer (/root/.vscode-server/data/Machine/settings.json in my case). This means that every time I rebuild the container those settings are flushed.
dotfiles support was working fine in the past, when it was possible to add the settings in the user settings.json. Now those settings are grayed out:
