Yes:
#echo "- *"> fex
:>fex
This results in no --exclude '*'.
Chances are if you put that in there you'll get nothing. That's because
if you use --exclude '*' you need to explictly include all parent directories
of files you want first. A lot of people do that with --include '*/' but
that may also pull in directories you don't want.
