problem with the delete option

[Manuel Kissoyan]

I continue investigating this and have a question.....could a file name or a 
directory name with a dash, dot or comma in the include option could confuse 
rsync and effect in the --delete-during option?

in example:

--include=passwd,v --include=/etc/proftpd.conf.bytes --include=/etc/passwd-

Thanx!
