Description

The documentation for the ​dumpdata exclude option currently reads:

Prevents specific applications or models (specified in the form of app_label.ModelName) from being dumped. If you specify a model name, the output will be restricted to that model, rather than the entire application. You can also mix application names and model names.

This isn't correct. If you specify a model name, the output is not restricted to that model. I think the intended meaning of this sentence is that only that model will be excluded (rather than the entire application being excluded).
