How can I exclude the .terraform folder from my scans? I see there is a -e switch to the scan command. But I have tried several permutations that don't seem to do anything:

• -e ".terraform"
• -e ".terraform/*"
• -e "*/.terraform"
• -e "*/.terraform/*"
• -e "**/.terraform"

But the .terraform folder in each module still gets scanned. How do I exclude it?
