Remove everything resembling a comment from "refuse" and put the
explanations into a new file "refuse.README". Some users are simply
copying these files and expecting them to work -- without even
reading them. I don't want to spend any more time closing bogus
PRs from that.
Also correct an error or two in the patterns.

The +explanation cannot be put inside the file itself because: + + COMMENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN refuse FILES! + +Each line of the refuse file contains one or more filename patterns +separated by white space. Everything matched by a pattern will be +left untouched by CVSup. If a pattern matches a directory, then +everything beneath that directory will be left alone. + +You can copy "refuse" to your sup directory and add or remove +whatever you like. The example supfiles in this directory set +CVSup's base directory to "/usr". The sup directory is in the base +directory; i.e., it is "/usr/sup". If you have changed your base +directory, your sup directory is /path/to/base/sup. + +Use the following pattern if you have modified +/usr/src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc to reflect your local configuration, +and you do not want CVSup to overwrite it: + + src/etc/sendmail/freebsd.mc* + +If you are an English speaker and don't wish to receive the +foreign-language ports, use the following patterns: + + ports/chinese + ports/german + ports/hebrew + ports/japanese + ports/korean + ports/russian + ports/vietnamese + +Use refuse files with care. Some parts of the src distribution +depend on files in completely different parts. + +For more information about refuse files see cvsup(1), which is +installed by the "cvsup" and "cvsup-bin" ports.
