Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
When packing lighting files for rendering, we currently do not ignore certain extensions. This means that .mov files used in the anim files as reference are then included in the pack as well. This generates hundreds of MBs overhead.
The simple solution is to edit the args of bam pack to ignore specific extensions
But I imagine we want to make this a bit smarter and have a settings field, either in the add-on panel, or in the preferences, where such ignore patterns can be defined by the user.
The ignored files hardly change and should be ignored by default in every file, so I think a setting would be ok.

Interesting. This would be something that can change on a file-by-file basis, I think. Tthere are too many video extensions to ignore, and there are cases when they shouldn't be ignored, so there is no good default value.
Maybe we can be a bit smarter about this, and temporarily unlink videos that are only used by the image editor, before bam-packing?
Fo reference: in the context of a production (for example the current one) we use only 1-2 types of video (.mov and .mkv). I'm not sure I understand the "unlink videos used by the image editor". The videos I'm talking about are used in the sequencer for example.
Implemented in version 1.6.4 of the Blender Cloud add-on (which requires a recent master build of Blender, doesn't work with 2.78)
