Package: cowdancer
Version: 0.25
Severity: normal

If I do a cowbuilder --login --bindmounts /home/joey , it takes a very
long time for cow-shell to start up, since it runs a find on everything,
including my home directory, which is quite large with many files.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~>time find |wc -l
1.72user 7.48system 2:03.01elapsed 7%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 
0inputs+0outputs (0major+940minor)pagefaults 0swaps
395496

This makes it slower than pbuilder login, unfortunately.

Would it be possible to add a way to make it prune certian directories
from the find? There are many parts of my home directory that will never
be touched during a package build so I don't care about getting the COW
behavior for them.
