KuduSync ignore list in file

[robrich]

From projectkudu/kudu#2395

I know I can ignore files by listing them in the -i flag such as -i ".git;.hg;.deployment;deploy.cmd" but this list easily gets very long. I would like to have a file similar to .gitignore or .npmignore where I can list files, globs, and other content to ignore, and pass this to kudusync.

@robrich @davidebbo Has there been any traction on this request? Is there any documentation that details which patterns are supported?

For instance, I cannot get kudusync to ignore specific subdirectories using a pattern like -i ".git;.hg;.deployment;deploy.cmd;node_modules/webpack", which results in an error:

Error: Wildcard support limited to prefix matching, e.g '*txt'. Other wildcard matching (or \\) is not supported
