abstract fun excludeGroupAndSubgroups(groupPrefix: String)

Declares that an entire group and its subgroups shouldn't be searched for in this repository.

A subgroup is a group that starts with the given prefix and has a dot immediately after the prefix. For example, if the prefix is `org.gradle`, then `org.gradle` is matched as a group, and `org.gradle.foo` and `org.gradle.foo.bar` are matched as subgroups. `org.gradlefoo` is not matched as a subgroup.
