It is usually best to anchor your matching terms, unless you want a term to
float and match anywhere.  In an .rsync-filter file, terms that start with a
slash are anchored in that file's directory.  You can also use a wildcard
for all the subdir excusions.  For example:

+ /*/htdocs/docs

Another alternative is to sprinkle .rsync-filter files throughout your
hierarchy with localized rules for that part of the hierarchy, but the above
should do what you want.
