Add a "--skip" or "--exclude" option

[murgatroid99]

I would like to use this library, but one of the packages in my packages directory can't be installed locally, which is making the script as a whole fail. It would be great if I could just use something like --skip directory_name to not touch that entire directory.

Hey, yeah, that is a sensible request. It's a bit problematic as there's already an option to pass multiple search directories, and a --skip dir wouldn't necessarily know which of these to filter in without requiring full paths (or you filter all the folders). A global --exclude pathfilter would be acceptable though.

Bit busy myself atm, but will merge a sensible PR with tests :smile: If you separate your folders into ones that work and ones that don't, you'd avoid this problem entirely though.

Well, the search directories are expected to be relative to the current directory. What if the --skip directories were also relative to the current directory? Then there wouldn't be any ambiguity when filtering.

Yeah, you'd have to take out the leading directory part before doing the filtering down inside the handling for each repo dir, which is a bit awkward, but that could also work.
