When you work with MDSE Frameworks like e.g. Xtext/Xtend, your changes often contain a lot of generated sources. This makes the changes unnecessarily big, since the generated sources usually are not of interest for the reviewer. Thus, there should be a functionality to exclude certain sources from being displayed in the Change Overview via a filter.

For Eclipse developers, generated sources are usually contained in folders called "src-gen" and "xtend-gen". So a reasonable default option would be to exclude files in those folders from the Change Overview.

You may consider to not commit generated files at all, but to just create them as part of your build.

Still it would be more convenient not having to pick the non-generated files for every commit. Those kinds of changes get very big very soon, so that functionality could safe the effort of selecting the "real" changes from the sometimes thousands of touched sources by generators.

Vendoring of things (like in Go projects) is something where this would be very useful.
