[flud-devel] choosing good initial filesets

[Alen Peacock]

There is now a file called fludfile.init which describes the rules
used to pick the initial file set that will be chosen for the user.
This is currently linux-specific, and is based on a very measly sample
of known home directories.  If you know of other files in $HOME which
should be excluded from backup on a linux system (files which change
often but hold no intrinsic data value, such as cache files), please
list them here: http://www.flud.org/wiki/index.php/Fludfile.init

If you'd like to start a similar set for osx or windows, feel free.
The format is very simple: <directory/filename (including wildcard
selection)>: <number>, where <number> is usually '1' (include this
file/dir in backup) or '4' (exclude this file/dir from backup).  Both
settings are inherited by children in the filesystem.  Children of '1'
can override '1'.  Children of '4' cannot (a file cannot be backed up
if its parent folders cannot be backed up).
