The Pending Changes view compares your repository workspace with the stream and shows you any differences as incoming or outgoing changes. There is no way to tell it to ignore certain changes or to exclude certain changes from the comparison. (You can configure things to not synchronize certain components. But there is no way to ignore certain change sets within a component.)

If you could tell RTC to ignore an incoming change set, then you would be in trouble when someone delivered a new change that depends on the ignored change set. You wouldn't be able to accept that new change set because it would create a gap in your workspace.

If the changes that you don't want were delivered to the stream by mistake and really shouldn't be there, then someone should remove them from the stream by creating a new change set that reverses the change or replacing the contents of the stream.

If you don't want to accept the changes now, but you will want to accept them sometime later, then you will have to live with them showing up in your Incoming folder until you are ready to accept them.

If the changes really should be in the stream but you won't ever want to accept them, then you need to rethink your stream setup and your flow targets. Is there a different stream that has the contents you want? If not, should a new stream be created?

This is not currently available. It is requested in work item 2195, and a slightly different flavor in work item 102223. Please feel free to add a comment to one or both of these work items, indicating your interest/support.
