Comments or remarks in an xcopy exclude file

I know how xcopy works, but is it possible to add comments to your exclude files? Something like this:

.pdb
.xml
.config
Some.dll /* excluded because ... */
Solution

  • This is how we did it:

    .pdb
.xml
.config
 /* excluded because ... */
Some.dll

    Maybe a no-brainer for some, but I thought there might have been a default way of commenting in excluded files. Maybe xcopy even searches for a file with filename '/* excluded because ... */, but it works for us.
