Enhancement: Add negative patterns for include/exclude
|
|
|
|
If a pattern is prefixed by an exclamation mark and match 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
|
|
# [...]
