Hello,

I've experienced troubles using the --include-from-file parameter.
The man page says entries have to be separated by a newline. However
it does not state anything about the presence of a newline at the end
of the file. Therefore my expectation is, that it does not matter if
it is there or not. Actually the behaviour is different on
Ubuntu/Linux comparing to Windows. Whereas in Ubuntu it really doesn't
matter, in Windows the last file entry before a newline is silently
ignored.

I suggest to add to the man page that there must not be a new line at
the end of the file.

DAR-version is 2.6.10 in both environments. Windows 10 Pro Version 1903.

With best regards,
Stefan
