Is there a rule I can apply to figure out the proper order for includes
and excludes?
Rules are evaluated in the order they are defined. The first rule with a
pattern that that matches is the rule that applies.
That makes sense, thank you for all your help.

Anyways, the other way to do what you are asking is: rsync -azvi
--exclude-from=excludes.txt --delete --delete-excluded /
user@hostname:
excludes.txt: + / + /etc + /etc/** + /home + /home/*/ +
/home/*/.maildir/ + /home/*/.maildir/** - - *
So the includes are in excludes.txt prefixed with +
rsync -azvi --exclude-from=excludes.txt --delete --delete-excluded /
user@hostname:
excludes.txt:
+ /
+ /etc
+ /etc/**
+ /home
+ /home/*/
+ /home/*/.maildir/
+ /home/*/.maildir/**
- - *
So the includes are in excludes.txt prefixed with + and the excludes
are prefixed with - - ?

Hi Grant,
I couldn't agree more. May I suggest that the man page make reference to
this feature under --include-from and --exclude-from ?
It does, but you have to

The way I think of it is that by default everything is included.
Excludes override that and remove certain paaterns. Includes override
that and put back in certain patterns.

I'd actually like to use --files-from so it's easier to manage and
--files-from doesn't support wildcards. That's why it gets so messy.

I'm trying to use wildcards and nested files and I think there must
be a better way than
the destination? Is there a workaround for that? I'd like to
keep the source and destination in sync.
