how to exclude a given directory #12

Thanks for the package!

I just tried it with my notes directory which is under git version control, it turned out xeft generated quite big index (around 400Mb) even though my notes takes about 22Mb in space total.

I think it indexes the .git directory as well, is there anyway to exclude certain directory when ~xeft-recursive~ is set to t?

Completely untested, but now xeft should ignore dot-directories. If you want more fancy filtering you can customize xeft-file-list-function.

Thanks a lot for quickly updating it!
