Combine exclude files

[Fabian Cenedese]

Hi

I'd like to have a list of excluded items that I can always use
and combine them with job-specific excludes (or generally filters).

Is it possible to use --exclude-from more than once? Do I have
to combine the exclude files into one and give this to rsync?
Is there another possibility (that also works on Windows)?

Thanks

bye  Fabi

Hi Fabi,

From the man-page, at the end of FILTER RULES:

---
Note also that the --filter, --include, and --exclude options take one 
rule/pattern each.

To add multiple ones, you can repeat the options on the command-line,
use the merge-file syntax of the --filter option, or the 
--include-from/--exclude-from options.

---

This implies that --exclude/include/filter options can be repeated on 
the commandline.


Hope this helps,
Nico

I don't know. As I read this I interpret it that I can repeat single --exclude 
options,
and for several excludes I can use the --exclude-from option. But it doesn't say
anything about repeated --exclude-from options.
