I would like to avoid that, as the `contrib/vscode/` files do not even have anything in the way of building Git. Instead, there is a configuration that allows Intellisense to find the symbols' declarations and definitions, and it specifies a little bit the style conventions as well as common terms that the cSpell checker benefits from.

I use this on almost a daily basis, so I believe that `contrib/vscode/` is in a _much_ better shape than `contrib/buildsystems/`' Visual Studio support code ever was. For that reason, I am a lot more in favor of keeping the `vscode/` stuff.

Ciao, Johannes
