Sloeber 4.4 removing a configuration via version control does not work

[jantje]

Make a project with 2 configurations that both have the "share in version control"
Your project now contains a sloeber.cfg showing the settings of both configs.
Delete all the lines of 1 config and save the sloeber.cfg file
--This is what would happen if the configuration was removed from version control by someone else--
expected behaviour
The config is no longer shared in version control
Actual behaviour
The config is removed from sloeber.cfg but the "share in version control" flag is still set so the next time you do project properties->arduino->apply close it will reappear

Work around
How to know this happened: Git staging will tell you that sloeber.cfg has changed and tell you a config was added; this should tell you that you shared the config that was removed by another team member

Action to fix:
Manually remove the "share in version control" flag from the project properties->arduino->other tab
Now the version contol tool should state there are no changes to sloeber.cfg

The root cause of this issue is
Sloeber reads the .sproject file and then the sloeber.cfg file.
This makes the sloeber.cfg to overwrite the settings in the .sproject file
However in this case the settings are removed in sloeber.cfg and the values in .sproject are used
There the config still exists (which is the desired behaviour) with the "share in version control" flag on (which is not desired behaviour)

As this is a rare use case with an easy work around which will probably not be so easy to fix in the code I do not intend to fix this as part of the 4.4 release

I'm closing this as a know limitation; won't fix unless there is huge request as workaround is easy and frequency of the case is limited
