attic has an --exclude-caches option that atticmatic should support.

--exclude-caches exclude directories that contain a CACHEDIR.TAG file

Thank you.

Great idea. Looks like both Attic and Borg support this option:

https://attic-backup.org/usage.html#attic-create
https://borgbackup.github.io/borgbackup/usage.html#borg-create

Do you think this would be best specified as another atticmatic command-line argument where you can specify an exclude caches filename, kind of like "--excludes" works now? And it could have a default path within /etc/atticmatic/[something].

I'd probably make it an option in config. Something like "exclude_caches: true".
For future additions, a generic "additional_command_options:" field would be convenient for some other options of either borg or attic that atticmatic may not support.

That makes sense. I was thinking that it was a filename value like --excludes, but looks like it's just a flag.

For the "additional_command_options" part, I added a new ticket (#14) that covers that in a more generalized way.

As of borgmatic 1.1.6 (just released), you can specify an "exclude_caches: true" within the "location" section of borgmatic config.
