Re: [Duplicity-talk] [bug 884371] Globbing patterns fail to include some files

[edgar . soldin]

check manpage chapter file selection
http://duplicity.nongnu.org/duplicity.1.html

this is a known confusing issue, but as long as nobody takes care of it it'll 
probably stay that way ;)

let me explain:

the selection works from top to bottom prioritywise, and the patterns have to 
match if defined.

so your defs say

- **/test-dup/folder-a
**/test-dup/folder-b/*.txt
- **/test-dup/folder-b

which says nothing about the folder-c or other paths. adding

+ **

to the end would fix that.

remember the expressions are matched one after another, if one matches the 
testing is stopped and it's handled according to (+/- or + if none).
if none of the expressions matches it's handled as if it was excluded.
