I agree: it would be nice, yet a too specific extension
which does not warrant the complexity.

Assigning to Bernhard for a second opinion (rather than closing it directly).

I'm not keen on the idea.  It will just give rise to requests to add  additional complexity for various niche choices of VCS.

Hello,

It would be nice to have an option to exclude the files specified in
VCS ignore files.

GNU tar already has this:

> ‘--exclude-vcs-ignores’
>      Exclude files that match patterns read from VCS-specific ignore
>      files.  Supported files are: ‘.cvsignore’, ‘.gitignore’,
>      ‘.bzrignore’, and ‘.hgignore’.  The semantics of each file is the
>      same as for the corresponding VCS, e.g.  patterns read from
>      ‘.gitignore’ affect the directory and all its subdirectories.


Thanks.
