Sounds great. I'll have a go at this.

My gut feeling is that a path is ran through all filters in order, and the last one has the final word. I. e. the most special filter should come last: --exclude /usr/share/doc/* --include /usr/share/doc/*/copyright This would filter everything except "copyright". In this pathological case --exclude /usr/share/doc/* --include /usr/share/doc/* nothing would be filtered at all. Did you discuss something else back then?
