I have some directory to igniore and that's works. I use -prune with my dir to igniore

find ./staging_dir/ -name "dirToIgniore*" -prune -or -name ".h" -print | xargs etags --append && find ./dir/ -name "dirToIgniore*" -prune -name ".c" -print -or -name ".cpp" -print -or -name "*.h" -print | xargs etags --append
