[Inotify-tools] inotifywait exclude files?

[Anton V. <an...@ec...>]

I am currently using inotifywait in a bash script to push scripts to my 
dev Apache server as soon as I save them on my desktop.  It works 
brilliantly, but I have hit the upper limit set by 
/proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches.

I was wondering if there is a way to have inotifywait ignore certain 
files when you setup a watch on a directory. It would really reduce my 
watched files, if I could have inotifywait ignore all .svn files. 

Anyone have any suggestions, or does an exclude filter need to be a 
feature request?

cheers,
Anton
