The option is named --exclude-if-present and accepts a parameter
filename[:content]. Directories are excluded and their contents is not
backed up if they contain a file with the specified name and,
optionally, that starts with the specified content. The tagfile itself
is never excluded.
There is also a shortcut --exclude-caches that works in the same way as
the likewise-named option of tar(1): Directories are recognized as cache
if they contain a file named "CACHEDIR.TAG.
Closes#317.

getting things off the ground with at least a mention that it is
possible to restore individual files.

are evaluated for each snapshot, thereby making sure that each
keep-* is able to retain its most recent snapshot. Thereby insuring
that weeklies keep Sundays around and monthlies keep the last day of
the month around.
Added testcase to make sure when multiple --keep-tags are given,
ALL of them need to match.
