Hi,
I'm a happy camper @ rsync (and rsnapshot) since years. Thanks for this major
piece of software.
In an attempt to reorganize my rsnapshot backups, I stumbled across an issue,

I believe you can shorten that to:

rsync -navi --delete --exclude file src/ dst/
works as expected. The file is not
It is a little confusing but in order to have an exclude dir merge
filter do both things (prevent transfer and prevent deletion) then it
needs to be on both ends of the transfer. The file on each end only has
partial effect on what rsync does.
Think of it like a file you (as a regular user) can
