How to rsync selective subdirectories

[Pepijn Palmans]

for i in `ls .` do; rsync -e ssh ./$i/toid user at host:dir; done

I had some problems with using --include and --exclude to skip different
directories and include others when I had a huge number of subdirectories.
It always seems like the rsync actually searches trough those exluded
directories just to exclude them in stead of denying them from the
beginning.

Kind regards,
