Implement --exclude-if-present #142
Conversation
Add a new --exclude-if-present command-line flag to ``attic create``. If specified, directories containing the specified tag file will be excluded from the backup. The flag can be repeated to ignore more than a single tag file, irregardless of the contents.
We also add --keep-tag-files to keep in the archive the root directory and the tag/exclusion file in the archive.

In the last commit I also implement '--keep-tag-files', which is akin to the last-slash rule of the exclude paths. It includes the root of the directory and the tag file itself, without including anything else. It's very helpful to restore paths which are meant to be persistent and/or know which directories were excluded due to --exclude-caches/--exclude-if-present a posteriori. |

Looks like the CI build failed for an unrelated reason on python 3.3 |

Can we try to trigger this build once more? It clearly looks like it failed for an unrelated reason. |

If the local unit test succeed, I suggest your trigger the travis build again by doing some minimal changeset. E.g. you could add docs about your change. |

I hope this is still being worked on. I would really like to see this feature, current exclude options are not sufficient. |

Tests included. See issue #128.
