It seems to me that the sense was relatively clear given the full context.
However, I have rewritten the section to read:
Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or Exclude lists,
the next backup will be forced to a Full so that Bacula can
guarantee that any additions or deletions are properly saved.
If this directive is set to {\bf yes}, any changes you make to the
FileSet Include or Exclude lists, will not force a Full during
subsequent backups.
The default is {\bf no}, in which case, if you change the Include or
Exclude, Bacula will force a Full backup to ensure that everything is
properly backed up. We strongly recommend against setting this
directive to yes, since doing so may cause you to have an incomplete
set of backups.
