For BUG

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new hexo site
2. Create a directory inside source/_posts called shared
3. Exclude that directory inside _config.yml with:

exclude:
  - shared/**

4. Run hexo clean && hexo generate

Expected behaviour:
shared directory is not outputted to public

Observed behaviour:
shared directory is outputted to public

I'm not sure if this is my understanding of the feature or not, I'm following the instructions here: https://hexo.io/docs/configuration.html#Include-Exclude-Files-or-Folders

Sometimes it helps to put it in YAML quotes. This confuses me too sometimes.

exclude: 
  - "shared/**"
