Going through my history, I found that I must have accidentally put a whitespace between '--include' and '=' which wasn't very obvious at the time thanks to the line wrapping of my terminal. I should have used an include file instead :) So no, no bugs. Tom -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.

Re: Yet another include/exclude question
What if I also want to include everything in /this_dir/ without running two instances and still being able to use --delete?
