Here's an old list of patches/discussions re excluding files/folders:

  id:"AANLkTikddX=fYiDmnN2Jx3ERcJndw=80+5_07=M45MQ=@mail.gmail.com"

... and Tomi Ollila has recently submitted another implementation,
which hasn't nearly received the attention it deserves:

  id:"1315949524-4948-4-git-send-email-tomi.ollila at iki.fi"

... presumably since most people who require this functionality have
settled on hardcoding some directory names @ `add_files_recursive' in
"notmuch-config.c".

A more flexible approach would be most welcome though, so +1 !
