How to properly ignore certain .folders like .git ?

Note: Before submitting a bug report, please ensure you are running the latest 'onedrive' client as built from 'master' and by using the latest available DMD compiler. Refer to the readme on building the client for your system.

Bug Report Details

Describe the bug I have a git-tracked project folder to sync, but I don't want to download .git repo from the onedrive cloud since it often distrubs the repo (namely: get hostname added to file name). As I configured sync_dir and sync_list, the .git/ folder still get downloaded where it shouldn't. I know there is a "skip all dotfiles" method, however similar function should also be able be implemented by editing sync_list properly.

I'm interested to know how to properly write the sync_list file to avoid syncing folders like .git and __pycache__. .git is located in certain folders that human can enumerate, */__pycache__/* is scattered in many folders that have python source code.

Application and Operating System Details: Everything unspecified is the same as #1526 .
