I will give it a second try, with 2 modifications:
- all 2nd and following "exclude"s are now "exclude append"
- all patterns start with "./" and have no other "/"
I found this in a 2007 user manual describing 2.5.0.
Will see what this will give. Is there a more recent issue?
To Gerrit: no, apparently include -> exclude is the right order,
looking at examples so far. Trying to find confirmation, pointed
to the points above. Thanks.
Regards, Charles
