Bug#554957: ignore directories based on files/dirs present

[martin f krafft]

Package: unison
Version: 2.27.57-2
Severity: wishlist

Backup tools often have an option to skip a subhierarchy if e.g. the
file .nobackup is present.

It would be cool if unison could be told to ignore any hierarchies
rooted at directories containing e.g. a .git/ directory, since those
are probably managed by VCS and ought better not be touched by
unison.
