[Buildbot-devel] feature: excluding files/folders from triggering a build

[Mark Pauley]

I did the exact same thing, by subclassing Scheduler to discard  
unimportant changes.

Check out my last reply to the mailing list about this.  I'm starting  
to think that a more general implementation might be the answer...
In any case, some sort of filter list would be absolutely useful to me  
as well.
