Re: [Merge] lp:~aaron-whitehouse/duplicity/filelist_combine into lp:duplicity

 

One of the reasons for --include / --exclude is the default handling for
non-specific names, ones without + or -, say the output of find or similar,
so I'm happy with that scenario.  A lot of tools I use have similar
semantics.

One set of semantics I would like to explore is to do away with
--in/exclude-filename and go with just --in/exclude <spec> where <spec> is:
1) simple filename or directory name
2) @filename to in/exclude by filename
3) - (dash) to in/exclude by stdin

To answer edso's next proposal we could make it --filename if we went with
--filename <spec> where <spec> is like above but preceded by '+' for
inclusion and '-' for exclusion.  To avoid confusion we could always drop
#3 above.  I know of no use for that option in real life.
