CVSROOT/modules file doc

[Ross Patterson]

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.
