==== Excluding directories ====
<div id="index-Excluding-directories_002c-in-modules-file"></div>
<div id="index-_0021_002c-in-modules-file"></div>

An alias module may exclude particular directories from
other modules by using an exclamation mark (&lsquo;<code>!</code>&rsquo;)
before the name of each directory to be excluded.

For example, if the modules file contains:

<div class="example" style="margin-left: 3.2em">
 exmodule -a !first-dir/sdir first-dir
</div>

then checking out the module &lsquo;<code>exmodule</code>&rsquo; will check
out everything in &lsquo;<code>first-dir</code>&rsquo; except any files in
the subdirectory &lsquo;<code>first-dir/sdir</code>&rsquo;.
