The URI is cropped...

@aeschli You also filed the inverse: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/66628

Let me know if you have any good ideas here.

Hmm, tricky, a hover to see the full URI would be nice, but yes, I know that's hard in a native dialog :-)

Maybe a button Details?

But then the URI might by so cryptic that it's useless to show it.

We could also just show what's passed in as argument to the extension (the path).

We could also reword the message. Remote Repositories wants to handle a URI passed in from the OS. You should only allow this operation if you know how this was triggered and trust the extension.
