Simply add your cache folder to your .gitignore. Details on how to do that can be found here. You can commit your .gitignore to your repo, so the folder will also be ignored on all other machines.

You could add the subdirectories to the toplevel .git/info/exclude or .gitignore, but I think all the users would need to do the same.
