We had something similar, we had backup copies of files that were getting
uploaded to ZK and we didn't want them to.
The morale I learned from that was that the files for ZK don't need to live
anywhere under the Solr deployment area, they can be in a totally separate
directory structure (in fact once they are uploaded to ZK, you can delete
them from the filesystem). So I would suggest you put your "local"
configuration files under <solrhome>/<collection>/conf, and keep your
ZK-related conf in a separate, parallel area outside <solrhome>.

Subject: SolrCloud excluding certain files in conf from zookeeper
When using SolrCloud, is it possible to exclude certain files in the conf
directory from being loaded into Zookeeper?
We are keeping our own solr related config files in the conf directory that
is actually different for each node. Right now the copy in Zookeeper is
overriding the local copy.
