I like using scp to copy folders back and forth between my linux box and ipad. Most of these folders are git repositories. The -u -p options are great, but it would be even better to also have an exclude option for example to exclude .git folder. I think that would speed up the scp process significantly.

Research direction
Start by locating the scp implementation and reading how the existing -u and -p options are parsed and applied. Check the linked discussion for the intended exclude behavior, then verify that recursive copies can skip .git directories and that normal scp transfers remain unchanged.
