That won't work as well for me because I don't name my build directories that way (I use short 1-2 character names to minimise typing). I also tend to put scratch files in the project root which aren't named in any particular way.

I'll probably just set up the excludes then. It's slightly less convenient for me because I'd need to set that up in each of my worktrees, but I can live with that.
