Idea: ignore file

[ijlyttle]

Clearly, this is for a future release.

I came across this interesting tweet from @jennybc:

She contends that a file-service should have a concept of an ignore file; I would agree.

box_push() already has the logical argument ignore_dots, but I think it might be interesting to think about how we might implement such an idea. After the next CRAN release...

I think this idea is very useful.

I've been using something similar but inverse to this. Such that it only fetches/pushes files that match on a pattern, similar to the behavior in dir(pattern = ).
