Description
It would be nice to be able to specify which course .tmcignore file concerns.
This currently hidden course: https://tmc.mooc.fi/hy/courses/42 should be a good example.
Now we have exercises from week 1 to week7 listed as hidden when we only want to show weeks 8 to 14 to users.
Possible fixes:
- If .tmcignore contains text lines contain course names that the rule applies to. One course name per line.
- .coursename.tmcignore, probably bad idea because course names might contains some special characters? But would be fast to check. Possibly lot's of ignore files.
- Get rid of .tmcignore and use metadata.yml ignore: true

Research direction
Start by tracing how .tmcignore is read and how the hidden course’s exercises are selected. Compare the proposed course-name rules with the metadata.yml ignore option; the work is done when ignore behavior can target one course without hiding exercises from weeks 8–14.
