Subject: Ignore directories in stow

Hi all,
I am relatively new in stow (using for last 6 months). While this is workin=
g fine for backing up my config files, it is actually storing unwanted file=
s, and not obeying my .stow-local-ignore.

I am using a script to install stow all my stowed files:
cat ~/bin/stow.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This script will Stow all the dotfiles located in the ~/dotfiles folder.
# The -R flag is used to force a 'restow' which will remove any existing sy=
mlinks before attempting to Stow.

echo "Stowing Dotfiles...";

cd ~/Utility/configs
for file in *; do
  # Only run Stow on the directories in the dotfiles folder and not the ind=
ividual files.
  # Using 'basename' strips the filepath from the directory name.
  if [ -d ${file} ]; then
    stow  $(basename $file) -t ~/
    echo "$(basename $file) stowed.";
  fi
done

# Return back to the your PWD from before you ran the script
cd ~-

echo 'All stowed';


Now, among many stowed files, lets take the example of vim: The path is:
~/Utility/configs/vim  which has the structure:
tree -a -L 2
.
=86=80=80 .stow-local-ignore
=86=80=80 .vim
=81   =86=80=80 autoload
=81   =86=80=80 plugged
=81   =86=80=80 spell
=81   =84=80=80 UltiSnips
=84=80=80 .vimrc


But, inside .vim, I don't want plugged and spells to be stowed, so, I have =
.stow-local-ignore:
 cat .stow-local-ignore
\.vim/plugged
\.vim/spell


But this is not working.  I have actually deleted those unwanted dir's and =
unlinked ~/.vim and restowed, but this does not work. As soon as those file=
s are generated inside ~/.vim, it is stowed.

How I ignore them?

Kindly help.
