include/exclude ?

[tim.conway at philips.com]

You're right.  the order dependency actually lets you create very complex 
include/exclude rules.  for each item, each --include and --exclude is 
evaluated in commandline order, until the item has either passed all the 
tests, and is thus included, or has been excluded, at which point 
evaluation restarts with the next item.  if you --exclude=* first, every 
file gets excluded right away, and never gets checked to see if it matches 
--include=an* .
Group:  That's a correct synopsis of the behaviour, isn't it?  If not, 
don't let my error stand.

        Classification: 



It is finally working but I am not sure if I understand it right. It
seems to me that the order in which 'include' and 'exclude' exist in the
command line is making all the difference. Check out the following two
commands:

*** include is BEFORE exclude - Working fine ! ***
[admx:test] $ rsync -va --include=an* --exclude=* ./* mm2x::AppError
building file list ... done
an01
an02
wrote 178 bytes  read 369 bytes  1094.00 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

*** include is AFTER exclude - Not Working ! ***
[admx:test] $ rsync -va --exclude=* --include=an* ./* mm2x::AppError
building file list ... done
wrote 67 bytes  read 337 bytes  269.33 bytes/sec
total size is 0  speedup is 0.00

Unless I am missing something obvious, the order is all that is
different in two statements above.
