Sorry, based on the previous discussion at [1] this seems to be broken
at the moment, due to '-x' being broken.

I think I had messed up my testing here, and -x was actually working in
isolation, but there was a more complex problem which prevented
reinstalling a package from the command line working.
If you really need this, please try old setup versions from [2]. If you
discover which version it got broken in, and/or work out how to fix it,
please let us know.

Completed testing. The last version where:
--include-source --local-package-dir "path" -x "package[,...]" -P
"package[,...]"
...worked was 2.918. It does not work in 2.919 and later.
Thanks very much, this was a big help in tracking down the change which
introduced this problem.
This should be resolved in the setup 2.926 RC.
