Ability To Clear Existing Directories Rather Than Delete

[a-h]

I generally want to copy an App_Offline.htm file into the remote application to take it offline while I'm working, so I then want to clear the directory rather than outright deleting it, while maintaining the existence of the app_offline.htm so that the site stays down.

I can then copy my Website over, then delete the app_offline.htm file to bring it back online.

I am working this over a bit. I noticed there were no tests included. Hopefully the implementation is still pretty close to what was in line with your patch.

This is what it looks like now.

.ClearDestinationBeforeDeploying(except =>
                    {
                        except.Add(new Regex("[Aa]pp_[oO]ffline\.htm"));
                        except.Add(new Regex("anotherfile"));
                    });

I realize this isn't far from what it was prior. This is what the code looks like in the proto now.

        public void ClearDestinationBeforeDeploying()
        {
            _options = DestinationCleanOptions.Clear;
        }

        public void ClearDestinationBeforeDeploying(Action<IList<Regex>> excludePatterns)
        {
            excludePatterns(_clearIgnorePatterns);

            _options = DestinationCleanOptions.Clear;
        }

I also added exclude options to the copy task itself that follows the same principles.

Tests and all for this guy.

Thanks a lot for merging that in. I'll take a look at what you've done to see how I can make sure that it fits in better next time. I was going to add the copy exclusions to source next (although you've already done it!) in order to be able to exclude .svn and .git directories from the copy operation.

Take a look at the tests here. https://github.com/chucknorris/dropkick/blob/master/product/dropkick.tests/Tasks/Files/CopyDirectoryTaskSpecs.cs

I did alter that a clean does not delete any folder, just files.
