True, it should be named differently, e.g. --ignore.

Another idea: would it make sense to have an attribute for that instead
(or in addition to the command line parameter)?  I.e. files marked
export-ignore would not end up in the archive.  I suspect the set of
files to ignore doesn't change from archive to archive one creates.
