Stuck with include/exclude options

[David E. Meier]

Hello list,

I try to keep a list of directories/files on windows in sync with the ones
on a remote machine. Basically syncing works fine, however I am
stuck/confused with the various possiblities using include/exclude
options. Your help is very much appreciated. Here's the scenario:

Local source dir: /cygdrive (seems to be required or else the cygwin-HOME
is set)
Remote destination dir: ~/data

Local file tree to be synced, that may vary each time rsync is run:

C:\test1\a1\
         b1\
         c1\
C:\test2\a2\
         b2\

So I created a file "files.txt" containing:

C/test1
C/test2

And then I call rsync:

$ rsync -avvr --temp-dir=temp --delete -e ssh --stats
--files-from=files.inc /cygdrive storage at 192.168.2.111:data

This copies all the directories just fine to the remote machine. However,
when I run rsync wiht a different file tree to be synced, say:

C:\test1\a1\
         b1\
         c1\
C:\test3\a3\
         b3\

The directory "~data/C/test2" does not get deleted on the remote side. How
can I achieve this? How do I have to set the options so that any
directory/file on the remote side that is not explicitly listed as include
path gets deleted?

Thanks VERY much for any help on this! Dave.
