Enhancement: Add negative patterns for include/exclude If a pattern starts with an exclamation mark and it matches a file that was previously matched by a regular pattern, the match is cancelled. Notably, this can be used with `--exclude-file` to cancel the exclusion of some files. It works similarly to `gitignore`, with the same limitation: once a directory is excluded, it is not possible to include files inside the directory. Example of use (as an exclude pattern for backup): $HOME/**/* !$HOME/Documents !$HOME/code !$HOME/.emacs.d !$HOME/games # [...] node_modules *~ *.o *.lo *.pyc # [...] $HOME/code/linux/* !$HOME/code/linux/.git # [...] https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/233 https://github.com/restic/restic/pull/2311
