ability to exclude .git/ from occ integrity:sign-app

[violoncelloCH]

I wanted to sign an app by checking out a git version tag on my dev setup, removing the unwanted files like README.md and do occ integrity:sign-app. This also included the files of the hidden .git/ directory in signatures.json, which I don't want in my release and exclude from the archive with tar --exclude .git/.
As far as I know there is no option to exclude specific directories from occ integrity:sign-app. If there would be an option like that I could directly create the release in my repository without the need to copy the app to another directory to remove .git/ first.

Here are a few examples how other apps solved this issue:

• https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/blob/master/Makefile#L143-L169
• https://github.com/nextcloud/deck/blob/master/Makefile#L40-L78
• https://github.com/nextcloud/social/blob/master/Makefile#L91-L128
• https://github.com/nextcloud/mail/blob/master/Makefile#L67-L116

You may have a look at https://github.com/ChristophWurst/krankerl as well.

Pick the solution you like the most 👍

thank you very much @kesselb !
I've chosen and adapted the Makefile from Mail, because it's the only one containing occ integrity:sign-app - see nextcloud/user_external#41
however github-release does not work for me... any idea what dependency might be missing?
