skip_dir to skip directories containing specific folders

[altepo]

Thanks a lot for this onedrive client, it's great!

I would like to skip all directories that contain a .git or a .venv folder. I modified the skip_dir line in by config file to:

skip_dir="*/.git|*/.venv"

After making this change, I performed a resync. However, during testing with dummy directories containing a .git folder, I noticed the parent directory still gets uploaded. The .git folder itself is skipped as expected, thanks to skip_dotfiles = true, but my goal is to skip the parent directory entirely as well. I understand I could achieve manually with sync_list, but I’d prefer to avoid that if possible.

Is what I try to achieve possible? Apologies if I am making a silly mistake or missing something in the documentation.

I am running onedrive v2.4.25 on Ubuntu 24.04.
