I would highly encourage this solution, as the other
solution using the command line exclude is a filter
"On that word(s)" and may actually exclude more than
just the directory you wish should that word appear
anyplace in any other file name. This comes with a
voice of experience in using command line exclude filters,
imho they should be abolished as wasted program space,
command line complexity and bad user experience.
The formal traditional "unixy" way to do this is to
feed a right proper constructed list of desired files
to a command using a filter, most often find and grep {,-v}.
I'll give rsync a nod, it has more options than ls :-)
You can use the --list-only to get the list of files,
then pipe that through a properly anchored grep -v to
prune out the undesired files to locally create the above
excludes.txt file.

Google more and more wants to do all things for you and they have added automatic key ring management to there ever intrusive set of tools and each tool now expects you to use there keyring system.
