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

My search for 'filter' in the documentation didn't return any results, 
so I missed that :)

So, if I can combine Mark's setup of a fileIsImportant with my 
'excludes matching' I get the same functionality without changing
the code, right? I'll go for that then.

Mark, which type of general implementation are you thinking about?
