(Was there an RMT decision?)

My two cents: backpatching an exception for .DS_Store seems good, but
creating an exclusion for all hidden files feels like a surprising
change for stable branches. If your postgresql.conf has something like

    include '.my.conf'

then a basebackup of that setup seems to work okay today.
