I have been keeping my vim files in Ubuntu One and since I have a lot of plugins installed as git submodules (or however vundle installs them) and I'm only interested in updating these repositories on my main computer, I had set Ubuntu One to ignore these files using:
ignore = \A.*\.git\Z
in ~/.config/ubuntuone/syncdaemon.conf
so it won't have to sync thousands of files. Now I'm trying to move these files to dropbox instead but I couldn't find an equivalent setting in dropbox.
So my question is, how can I tell dropbox to ignore files/folders with certain names (particularly the dot folders)?
git gc
on some of them.
