Create a Sublime project. You can have project settings to ignore file and folder patterns. I set this up at the same time I create a .gitignore file for a repo.

Whenever you re-open a project, it re-opens every tab you had when you closed the project, which is really nice. Even unsaved files are restored.

Just an FYI, Atom does these things too. Tracks all of your open windows, tabs, which tabs you were on, keeps unsaved changes, etc...

Can you make file ignore patterns in project settings pull from .gitignore though?
