http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.12.3/cvs_18.html#SEC162 describes how to exclude directories from a module. It says: C.1.4 Excluding directories An alias module may exclude particular directories from other modules by using an exclamation mark (`!') before the name of each directory to be excluded. For example, if the modules file contains: exmodule -a !first-dir/sdir first-dir then checking out the module `exmodule' will check out everything in `first-dir' except any files in the subdirectory `first-dir/sdir'. What it doesn't say is that this only works when the exclusions are listed before the directories they apply to. So "exmodule -a first-dir !first-dir/sdir" checks out everything, including the contents of first-dir/sdir. Yeah, it's *implied* by the example, but it would be more correct to say: An alias module may exclude particular directories from other modules by using an exclamation mark (`!') before the name of each directory to be excluded. Directories to be excluded must be listed before the modules in which they are contained. -- Ross A.
