why all the *?
A trailing triple star makes the rule match /src/ and everything under
it, which is overkill in this case but doesn't hurt anything.
-exclude="src/" is what I've used in the past
/src/ would imply that src is at the root of your system, which seem
unlikely.
No, the leading slash refers to the root of the file list for the
current run of rsync, which is exactly what David wants. For the root
of the filesystem, use --filter='-/ /src/'.

Still not working. If I remove a random file like src/fo.md5.txt all the
following fail. In other works, each of the following exclude patterns
recreate the file.
# --exclude='src/'
# --exclude='src/***'
# --exclude='/src/'
# --exclude='/src/***'
I'm using rsync-3.0.1 and based on the docs this looks like a bug as it
appears all the above should:
1) exclude all src/* files
2) remove all src/* files which might exist
Neither action occurs for any of the above exclude patterns.
