I did not want to confuse you ;)
I assumed that things like WildDir work in Include as well as in
Exclude sections... which is wrong. I confused the things a bit, sorry.
Please read on.

I think this depends on how the directive will work / what you can
do with it:
If you could use it similar to wilddir for example, than it could
be used to include as well as to exclude directories (exclude=yes)
and then it would be best to have the new directive in the Options
section, right?
These examples show how it would work then:
######################################################
# use control file to exclude dirs:
Include {
Options {
Ignore Dir = .no_backup
Exclude=yes
}
File = /
}
or
# use control file to include dirs:
Include {
Options {
Ignore Dir = .please_back_me_up
}
Options {
RegExFile = ".*"
Exclude = yes
}
File = /
}
######################################################
If it will be to much work or not worth the work to put it into the
Options section than I would vote for having it in the Exclude
section as this new directive is about excluding dirs:
FileSet {
Name = xxx
Include {
...
}
Exclude {
Ignore Dir = .no_backup
}
}
because this directive is about excluding directories and not
including then.

Yes.
We might try some brainstorming here:
# Options section:
Options {
Ignore Control File = .no_backup
Exclude Control File = .no_backup
Ignore Flag File = .no_backup
Exclude Flag File = .no_backup
Ignore Dir Flag File = .no_backup
...
}
# Exclude section:
Exclude {
Control File = .no_backup
Flag File = .no_backup
...
}

Ok.
I am not (yet?) familiar with the bacula source. Otherwise I would
have examined this already :-/
