include/exclude

[Christophe LYON]

You can still use --filter: --filter=": my-rsync-filter"
will include the file my-rsync-filter in the list of rules (and 
recursively at each directory level).

This is very powerful and allows you to modify the filters without 
modifying the script which calls rsync.
