Re: Fwd: Problem with file exclusion pattern

Sure, that is the way it normally works.  By default everything is 
included.  Excludes exclude things.  Includes are exceptions to includes 
that follow.

Note that this can get very complicated.  --exclude-from=file.txt makes 
things much easier as you can use the +/- syntax to put both includes 
and excludes into the same file.
