Description

Is it possible to add directories/files to be excluded as a optional config option?

Something like:

"repos" : {
        "myrepo" : {
            "url" : "file:///Users/Me/projects/Project",
            "exclude_patterns": ["tests"]
        }
    }

Research direction
Investigate the current configuration parsing code to understand how repo specific options are handled. Look for the section in the codebase that processes the 'repos' JSON object and add support for an optional 'exclude patterns' field. Update the corresponding documentation and tests. Consider reviewing any existing linked issues or PRs for additional context.
