Re: [rdiff-backup-users] excluding .git, .svn, &c from rdiff-backup

[Adrian A. Baumann]

Not quite. The new backups will look exactly like you've deleted .git 
and then taken a backup - i.e., the ignored files/directories will be in 
the backup increments before the configuration change and won't be in 
the ones after. In time, they will be removed when you do a 
--remove-older-than [time].
