How to make Meteor ignore files?

Is there some specific folder in Meteor file structure which is simply ignored by Meteor? (meteor bundle and meteor deploy etc)

Or better yet: is there a kind of .meteorignore file where we can list files for Meteor to ignore?

There's no such file as .meteorignore yet.

Currently the only reliable way to hide a file from Meteor is to make it hidden (add a dot to the beginning of name). You can hide the whole directory, which is useful if you need specific filenames for things like Grunt tasks.

For example if you create a directory called .hammerTime, then Meteor can't touch this.

Update:
As of Meteor v1.5.2.1, there is support for a .meteorignore file. It works exactly the same as a .gitignore.

You can use them in any directory of your project and are fully integrated with the file watching system.
