I am not sure where the second - came from. That line should have
been "- *" as in exclude everything that I didn't explicitly include
previously (order matters). I find it much easier to list both in a
single file rather than using two since order is so important.
Especially if you have multiple sets of includes and excludes.

Correct. Before the - *

It probably does. I didn't look.
I also added a -i (--itemize-changes) because I am trying to generate
a habit of always pairing it with -v since -v isn't all that useful
without it.
