1) make sure you are running a recent tla (preferrably one built from
the arch main repository, (or equivalent a daily snapshot from asuffield
- if people.debian.org is fixed yet)).

2) cd to the dir above the one to ignore

3) edit a new file .arch-inventory
in there put
===
precious directoryname
===
4) issue 'tla add .arch-inventory'

There you go.
