Visual Studio 2015/ TFS 2013 not ignoring bower_components in ASP.NET 5 projects

Visual Studio 2015 is not ignoring bower_components folder although it is ignoring node_modules so I don't know what is wrong.

This is the content of my project.json

{
  "webroot": "wwwroot",
  "version": "1.0.0-*",

  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc": "6.0.0-beta7",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS": "1.0.0-beta7",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.WebListener": "1.0.0-beta7",
    "Microsoft.AspNet.StaticFiles": "1.0.0-beta7"
  },

  "commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Hosting --config hosting.ini"
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { }   
  },

  "exclude": [
    "wwwroot",
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components"
  ],
  "publishExclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "bower_components",
    "**.xproj",
    "**.user",
    "**.vspscc"
  ]
}

How can I force VS 2015 to hide bower_components folder from the project's tree?

I am also strugling with TFS 2013 because I am unable to ignore folders from being tracked for changes. I have tried .tfignore but that didn't work.

This issue is now 'fixed' by using the 'Hide from Solution Explorer' option which becomes available with the ASP.NET 5 beta 8 release.
