Not really if you've never used a UNIX-style shell.

That would be due to the function 'proclist' in utils.c which seems
to strip initial '/' from the -I/-X directories only when doing a
front-string comparison and not when doing a wildcard comparison. The
initial '/' of any URL directories is stripped anyway, so this
implies that if you want to do wildcard matches on included/excluded
directories you can't specify an initial '/' on the -I/-X directories
on the command line.
I'm not sure if the above behaviour is a bug or a feature.
