How to get rid of "SVN" heading in "Current Folder"

Starting with R2014b, the "Current Folder" pane in the GUI has a column heading "SVN" which takes up space I would rather use for other purposes but I cannot find a way to get rid of it. How do I get rid of this column? (Files in this directory are under SVN management, which I suppose is why this column appears, but this is no concern of Matlab).

If you are not interested in using the source control functionality within MATLAB, you can see how to disable it here: Select or Disable Source Control System. Disabling it turns off the column, but you can't access MathWorks source control functionality.

You should be able to turn this off in the MATLAB preferences, as shown here:

Well, of course I looked under "Preferences->Current Folder" and couldn't find anything there. The answer given here works, but I would say this is buried so deep nobody could ever find it who didn't expect Matlab to be fooling around with version control. Matlab developers, if you read this, Please add column selections, including this one, to the "Current folder" preferences, which is the natural place to look for it. G Reeke

I think that's a good idea, too! Passed along your thoughts to our developers.
