Feature Request: Ability to Exclude Specific Folders or Files from ctags/context map

[MohHeader]

Hello,

I am super excited about what is been doing here, and yeah this is the first production-ready AI coder I can use with my projects.

Super THANKS ^_^

Although I think the roadmap is more towards an automated context mapping, but giving some manual control until then could be a great option.

(And of course the following is created by GPT)

An enhancement to the current mechanism by which aider uses ctags to create the context map.

Currently, it maps all the files in the repository, but there are certain instances where some directories or files may not be necessary or might contain low-priority vendor code or other frameworks. In such cases, it would be beneficial to manually exclude these folders or files from the map.

Feature Description:

Adding a feature that allows users to specify directories or files to be excluded from the mapping process. This could be implemented in the form of a configuration setting or command line argument where users can provide a list of directories or files to be ignored.

Benefit:

This feature would enable users to better control the mapping process and manage the context that GPT-4 operates in. Ignoring less relevant folders or files would not only speed up the mapping process, but also provide more space for the more relevant and important context.
