excluding subdirectories

[Streubert, Christoph]

How can I exclude a list of subdirectories from a file system tree?
Do you recommend ...
a) to use the --exclude option and try to match the patterns
b) to use the --exclude-from option to exclude anything this file
contains
c) something else I do not think of?

I appreciate your response,
