Allow for files/folders to be excluded from deployments

[marshallford]

I would appreciate the ability to exclude files and folders from deployments. Mina then would just not copy them from the scm directory to the releases directory. I have considering updating my gitignore however there are files I would like tracked by git but don't want on the public facing web. A quick example would be the deploy.rb file and config folder itself. I do not want that file on the web, but I would want it shared between team members.

@marshallford You could possibly remove those files/directories in the :after_hook

Mina uses git under the hood. Just remove those files from git.

Or remove the files after completed deploy

What would be the simplest way to exclude files / folders (that are not .gitignore-d) from deployments?

How do you feel about Mina supporting something similar to Vercel's .vercelignore where you can list paths that (are not .gitignore-d but) you don't want on remote.
