Because I think regexes are a bad fit for the command line, I removed the /ignorepattern switch. Unfortunately, this is a breaking change, since at least one person is using it. I need to add something back in to support at least globbing, if not regexes, or else release hobocopy as 2.0.

While any exclusion capability is better than none,
I feel exclusion at the directory level is needed.
How else to exclude System Volume Information and
all the files in the Temp directory? I agree that
regexp seems excessive for HoboCopy. For a happy
medium, here is a suggested list, ordered by
increasing capability (i.e. more work on your part).
(your suggestion)
Exclusion by full path/filename
DirA\Dir2\FilenameX.typ
DirA\Dir2\FilenameZ.typ
(my request)
Exclusion by partial path
DirA\Dir2
Exclusion by substring match
Dir2
-or-
Dir2\Filena
Inclusion as above
Exclusion & Inclusion as above
with position in command line determining
override of previous selections
-or-
order of filtering
