The -r just gets it going, the exclude "*" excludes anything that
doesn't match something earlier in the list.  I personally prefer not to
use it in such a situation, I would do this instead:

  --include=/dir1/ --include=/dir2/ --exclude="/*"

That way the /* doesn't match anything down inside dir1 or dir2, and
thus you don't need all the extra wild-card rules.
