Conditional Limiting of Remote Repo Updates

[Justin C]

In our company we have a lot of git repositories hosted on AWS CodeCommit, and we have recently been noticing rate-limit excess on AWS. Upon closer inspection it seems like a huge number of calls are originating from my Sourcetree installation. I have adjusted the remote update frequency to hourly however this still does a load of calls (1,000+ / day) to refresh all my tracked repositories.

If possible I would very much like the option to limit the updating to just the repositories that are open in tabs (ie. the ones that are being worked on - rather than the ones just lying around). One other possible option might be to have the option present for every repository - whether to check for updates or not, although this would mean that more manual configuration updates are necessary every time that you move on to another project.

In the mean time I can reduce the update frequency even more, but it will soon reach a point where it would no longer be necessary for it to check for updates on my behalf.

Thanks for your time.
