Borg's cli supports an exclude-from flag which allows you to provide a file with a list of exclude patterns.

Have you seen the existing support for the exclude_patterns listed directly in the borgmatic config file? Do you have a use case that that doesn't work for, where you need to read the patterns from an external file?

My primary use for it is to take advantage of OS X's ability for the os and applications to mark things to not be backed up by using /usr/bin/mdfind "com_apple_backup_excludeItem = 'com.apple.backupd'" / >| ~/.config/borg/system_excludes to generate a system_excludes file.

As of borgmatic 1.1.6 (just released), you can specify an "exclude_from" list of one or more filenames within the "location" section of borgmatic config.
