Post --include xyz --exclude ** and symlinks 
Hi all,

I've just installed rdiff-backup, woody backport (ver 0.13.4), and set it
up to backup stuff from a remote server on a machine inside my lan. Same
version is installed on remote host. Problem seems to be ralated to
symlinks in conjunction with include/exlcude '**', as mentioned in
subject.

I've run r-b as follows:

r-b
--v6 \
--include dir1 \
--include dir2 \
--exclude '**' \
remotehost::/path /localpath

Inside dir2, there's a symlink to dir3, and dir3 doesn't get backupped.
imho this happens cause dir3 is excluded via --exclude '**' and symlink
isn't prioritized against exclude.

Don't know if I'm right or not, and don't know if this is meant to be a
bug or a feature, so I decided to ask here.

tnx for your help,

bye

Spike
