Excluding a . directory in a subdirectory

[Kevin Korb]

Order matters.  --include overrides --exclude listed later.  So, your
exclude is nullified by both of  your includes.  So move the exclude
before the includes.  Of course then your includes will be irrelevant so
just remove them unless you are leaving out details.
