If you put "- *" into that file and use the filter option "--filter=':
.exclude", then rsync will exclude all the files/dirs from within that
directory (just not the directory itself).  If you want to exclude the
directories themselves, you can put a rule into the parent dir.  For instance,
create the file .rsync-filter and put "- /subdir" into it (that slash anchors
the name in the current dir).  Then, run rsync with the -FF option and it will
use the filter files and also exclude them from the transfer.
