You should make it clear that, even after this fix, daemon-excluded
files are still vulnerable to a client that combines a --*-dest or
--*-dir above the excluded files (which the filter doesn't prevent) with
file-list path information.  To close this vulnerability, rsync would
have to check the path of each individual alternate basis, partial,
backup, or temporary file against the filters before accessing the file.
