Ensure that if a PATH is specified directly in ``attic create`` is going to be included in the archive irregardless of the --exclude rules. We achieve this by building an intermediate exclusion list, and checking each exclusion pattern directly against the specified path. If the pattern matches, it's removed. This allows to have general exclusion rules while still including wanted subtrees in the archive. With the following file list: root/file1 root/unwanted/subtree1/file2 root/unwanted/subtree2/file3 The command: attic create archive::name --exclude root/unwanted root root/unwanted/subtree2 Will correctly archive: root/file1 root/unwanted/subtree2/file3. This reduces (removes?) the need of an additional --include flag, since it reduces the include/exclude logic to the most specific pattern directly specified on the command line.

+1. This would be an excellent feature. |

We achieve this by building an intermediate exclusion list, and checking each
exclusion pattern directly against the specified path. If the pattern matches,
it's removed.
This allows to have general exclusion rules while still including wanted
subtrees in the archive. With the following file list:
root/file1
root/unwanted/subtree1/file2
root/unwanted/subtree2/file3
The command:
attic create archive::name --exclude root/unwanted root root/unwanted/subtree2
Will correctly archive:
root/file1
root/unwanted/subtree2/file3.
This reduces (removes?) the need of an additional --include flag (as suggested in #104), since it
reduces the include/exclude logic to the most specific pattern directly
specified on the command line.
