Description
Just a question - I would like to use the recursive mechanisms in fsspec to copy directories, but I also want to exclude some paths (for example .git directories). It does seem like the callback mechanism would be perfect for this, by implementing wrap. I haven't seen any examples of doing so, so I was wondering if this was not recommended for any reason?

Research direction
Start by examining fsspec's recursive directory-copy mechanisms and the callback wrap behavior mentioned in the issue. Check whether existing documentation covers excluding paths such as .git; done means documenting a supported filtering approach or clarifying whether callbacks are recommended for it.
