actions#file methods should support globbing

[sindresorhus]

I want to copy a folder with files and subfolder, but I need to exlude one of the subfolders. From what I can see there aren't currently any way to do that.

Simple globbing wouldn't be that difficult to implement, but it depends on what you're after - are you looking for a way to specify regex patterns to ignore or just explicit strings representing subfolder paths?

+1 on the feature. Let's make sure we don't choose a lib with a too large dependency tree.

[addyosmani]

Let's do it.

+1 node-globule. Of the two, it looks better suited to generator tasks.

Also troubled by this problem. There is no way to copy a folder and it's content to the destination currently.
@sindresorhus The issues is still open, hasn't it been supported by now?

Is this issue still open ? I need to exclude some files / folder too.

@jgoux Yes it is still open, although we now have new file utilities: http://yeoman.io/authoring/file-system.html

Make sure to checkout file utils own documentation.

This will be automatically fix with #658 - I'll assign to myself and remove as actionnable.

This is working on master now.
