https://answers.launchpad.net/sbackup/+question/154929

Are there any plans to allow an exclude rule of the form "if the directory foo contains a file named bar, exclude foo"? This would make it easy to exclude newly created directories by touching a file with the name '.NOBACKUP' (or whatever a user prefers).

Also, one could imagine excluding directories containing '.svn' might be useful to someone (assuming that someone commits often enough that there's no reason to back up working copies).
