rsync specific files

[Joe D'Andrea]

A reality-check question, as I continue plundering the documentation
vaults. :-)

I want to rsync a list of files (relative paths), not entire directory
trees. I know I can pass the list on the command line like so:

 cd /parent/dir
 rsync -v -R relative/path/to/file.ext host:/parent/dir

I want to use --include-from=INCLUDE so I can pass a list of files outside
of the command line. Dropping the relative paths in there doesn't seem to
cut it though. Pilot error? If so, please advise.
