Things get much easier if you only use one file and use the +/-<br>
syntax. Here is a quick rewrite of your file using that syntax and<br>
some changes and comments:<br>
<br>
+ .vimrc<br>
+ .gitconfig<br>
+ .bash_aliases<br>
+ .bashrc<br>
# Exclude all .files except the ones commented above<br>
- - .*<br>
- - *~<br>
# Have to include this or rsync will never see Playlist<br>
+ Videos/Music/<br>
+ Videos/Music/Playlist/<br>
# Can't exclude Videos/ because then rsync will never look inside it<br>
- - Videos/*<br>
+ Downloads/Iso/<br>
- - Downloads/*<br>
- - Dropbox<br>
