You should not do that, because you will end up with a broken repository, as the hdlist files will contain references to files which are not present on the mirror. A repository must be mirrored entirely or not at all. (And I think it is already enough work for the mirror maintainers to have to exclude some directory, they surely don't want to maintain per mirror custom rules) -- Renaud Michel
