Fwd: Problem with file exclusion pattern

[Kevin Korb]

Sure, that is the way it normally works.  By default everything is 
included.  Excludes exclude things.  Includes are exceptions to includes 
that follow.

Note that this can get very complicated.  --exclude-from=file.txt makes 
things much easier as you can use the +/- syntax to put both includes 
and excludes into the same file.
