[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello,
It would be nice to have an option to exclude the files specified in
VCS ignore files.
GNU tar already has this:
> ‘--exclude-vcs-ignores’
> Exclude files that match patterns read from VCS-specific ignore
> files. Supported files are: ‘.cvsignore’, ‘.gitignore’,
> ‘.bzrignore’, and ‘.hgignore’. The semantics of each file is the
> same as for the corresponding VCS, e.g. patterns read from
> ‘.gitignore’ affect the directory and all its subdirectories.
Thanks.
