I was too until I realized that, in the haste of my last message, I
had made a mistake about the excludes being needed to limit the dirs,
symlinks, and devices.  Of course these items were already elided from
the list the sender sent us, so the only effect the excludes have at
--read-batch time is to limit what gets deleted by --delete.

So, with that in mind, I think it would be more flexible to tell the
user that they can just drop the include/exclude options unless they
want to use --delete and limit what get deleted.  We can have the
writing of the BATCH.sh file (which I renamed from BATCH.rsync_argvs)
automatically dump the exclude options if --delete wasn't specified
(or if --delete-excluded was).
