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.
