New description:

 The current default value for "Skip files matching the regular expression"
 under "Downloads" and "Uploads" on the Advanced tab of the Transfers
 Preference panel is:

 {{{
   .*~\..*|\.DS_Store|\.svn|CVS
 }}}

 I suggest that it be changed to:

 {{{
   .*~\..*|\.DS_Store|\.svn|CVS|\.git
 }}}

 (i.e. adding a pattern for git archives).

 Pros: this rule is coherent with restricting `svn` data, which is already
 in the default.

 Cons: the proposed default will prevent effective backup of local `.git`
 repositories. Maybe only the ''Downloads'' default should be modified?
