How can I (easily) exclude a directory ("CVS") from a recursive copy?

The executed command is:
cp -vur sourcedirectory .

Best regards,
Kenneth

Can you use rsync? Something like

rsync -av --exclude=CVS source_dir dest_dir

That would copy all the files into one directory, and wouldn't exclude
any files.
