[[!tag obnam-wishlist]]

The Idea is to change or extend the --exclude-caches feature so that one can configure which filename to look for that will make obnam skip the directory

Changing `--exclude-caches` seems wrong to me: it has a specific purpose (to implement the cache directory tagging spec, <http://www.bford.info/cachedir/spec.html>).

Adding a new option to ignore directories that contain a specific file (or directory) would be fine.

--liw

bwh points out that the owner of the directory and the tag file should
be the same.
