Configuration

Unless a starting directory is specified, the local working directory will be set according to this variable:
```
let g:ctrlp_working_path_mode = 2
```
0 - don't manage working directory.
1 - the directory of the current file.
2 - the nearest ancestor that contains one of these directories or files: .git .hg .svn .bzr _darcs

Define additional root markers with the g:ctrlp_root_markers option.

Exclude files and directories:

set wildignore+=*/tmp/*,*.so,*.swp,*.zip  " MacOSX/Linux
set wildignore+=tmp\*,*.swp,*.zip,*.exe   " Windows

let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$'
let g:ctrlp_custom_ignore = {
  \ 'dir':  '\.git$\|\.hg$\|\.svn$',
  \ 'file': '\.exe$\|\.so$\|\.dll$',
  \ 'link': 'some_bad_symbolic_links',
  \ }

Use a custom file listing command:

let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'find %s -type f'        " MacOSX/Linux
let g:ctrlp_user_command = 'dir %s /-n /b /s /a-d'  " Windows
