How about we delegate all these settings to a new field in
$EM_CONF[<extName>]? This way, everyone can specify the
files/subdirectories they want $EM to ignore in ext_emconf.php, and we
don't have to collect anything. We also don't have to create another
convention for an "ignored" folder.

So, for example if I wanted to skip tracking .svn directory and TODO
file in my extension, I would add:

'ignoreLocalFiles' => '.svn, TODO'

to ext_emconf.php
