The first thing I tried was simply adding a `~` to the end of the directory. This worked. Then I kept reading and found `source-omit-files` which sounds like a better way, but I couldn't get it to work. I tried adding the following to the info.rkt of the multi-collection package (and maybe a few more), but none of them worked:
(define source-omit-files
'("plisqin-test"
"plisqin-test/"
"plisqin/plisqin-test"
"plisqin/plisqin-test/"))
