Bug Description
Please consider adding the following to the default exclusion list:
/etc/mtab
/var/lib/nfs/*tab
/var/cache/
.kde/share/cache/*
.firefox/
/usr/src/**/*.o
lost+found/
/tmp
/var/tmp
/var/backups
/mnt
/media
(I realize cache is covered by [Cc]ache, but I noticed there is another bug report requesting deletion from the default exclusion list for a very good reason, so perhaps this will help identify some explicit cache cases in the event that feature gets implemented.)
I also found the below list after googling. I have a feeling neither of these lists are complete. I'm not sure how much is ubuntu specific (as that's what I use - ubuntu 12.04)
.gvfs # contains mounted file systems?
.local/
.Private # contains the actual encrypted home directory
.dbus # session-specific
.cache
.Trash # do I need to say more?
.local/share/Trash
.cddb # cached info about audio CDs
.aptitude # cached packages lists
Flash-specific:
.adobe # Cache for flash, maybe others?
.macromedia # except for Flash persistence, there is no reason to keep this
Files:
.xsession-errors # contains errors from the current graphical session
.recently-used # recently used files
.recently-used.xbel
.thumbnails
.Xauthority # session-specific
.ICEauthority
.gksu.lock
.pulse # directory
.pulse-cookie
.esd_auth
KDE specific:
.kde/share/

Thanks for the lists. I'll take a look on your recommendations soon. The list from Google seems to be a bit heavy. I don't think I'll add them all.
