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.

Includes override excludes that follow. So, your include of * meant that
nothing was being excluded. An exclude before any includes isn't affected by
the includes.

Ah, I was under the impression that all inclusion patterns need to preceed the
exclusion patterns?

Drop the include of * or move the exclude of *.~lock* before it. Also,
-c is almost always a bad idea.

I am running rsync on Linux and have yet to find the appropriate pattern to
exclude files containing '.~lock' as part of the name of files existing in any
directory, ie ~/test and below.
rsync -vHrltDium -c --chmod=Du+rwx,go-rwx,Fu+rw,go-rw --no-perms --stats --include='*'
--include='*/' --exclude='*.~lock*' --exclude='*' -e "ssh -y -p 22" ~/test/
someone@1.2.3.4:~/test
Can anyone point out what I have missed in the above?
Thank you.

When I dropped the '*' include it did not sync files in the topmost directory?
Perhaps it always needs to be included among the options?
Thank you. Would one ever put an exclude /after/ the includes?
