Exclude cache on public folder for blogdown

When I build my site using blogdown, the cached files from Rmd posts are copied across to the public directory. This is unnecessary, wastes space, and slows down the deployment.

I think I can use blogdown::build_site() with the custom argument to avoid this, if I provide my own custom script. What should the custom script look like?

The build method is irrelevant, because it only defines the behavior of blogdown instead of Hugo. It is Hugo that copied your files to public/. I have not documented it yet, but typically you want Hugo to ignore these files (like what I did in the default example):

ignoreFiles = ["\\.Rmd$", "_files$", "_cache$"]

This option is to be set in the config file (e.g. config.toml).
