tar-style exclusion lists. #36

Open AnrDaemon opened 8 years ago

AnrDaemon commented 8 years ago

Largely suprsedes #8 . It would save a lot of hassle to be able to use --exclude-from=… switches. I.e. it doesn't matter for me, if it would find dupes in .bak or .err files - they are redundant and cleaned regularly.

@AnrDaemon I wrote undupes to support these kinds of problems. If you have any software written which supports the exclusion list then the null separated output can be piped into undupes. https://github.com/m-chaturvedi/undupes
