LaTeXCompiler moves git-related files into aux_folder #4

I just tried LaTeXCompiler for the first time, motivated by wanting to keep auxiliary files out of my main working folder. It did do that, but I expected it to only move files generated during the LaTeX compilation process. Instead, it also moved git's hidden .git folder for my project's git repository, the .gitignore file, and all markdown files (README.md and several others) into the specified aux_folder, which I do not want or expect to happen.

Upon a more thorough reading of the README, I noticed this definition:
"Everyhting [sic] that is not a folder, nor a .tex file, nor a .pdf file is considered as an auxiliary file."

In my opinion, a better definition would be:
"All files created during compilation which are neither folders, nor .tex files, nor .pdf files are considered auxiliary files."

And it would be better still to be able to whitelist or blacklist certain file extensions or patterns using a configuration file, possibly similar to .gitignore, speaking of that.
