Re: Excluding whole directories

Hi Joe,

False alarm - that "exclude .svn" did work. I did a sitecopy -l and it 
reported a whole lot of .svn/* files, but these were files to be 
*deleted* from the remote site that had previously been uploaded.

Thanks again for your help. Sitecopy is very cool, btw :-)

Cheers, Andrew.
