+## This could be useful if the version differences between rdiff-backup instances

# A few notes about includes and excludes:
-# - include, exclude and vsinclude statements support EITHER globbing with '*'
-# OR symlinks in the path; usage of both in the same statement is *not*
-# supported and will lead to weird behaviour.
-# - All the excludes come after all the includes. The order is not otherwise
-# taken into account.
+# 1. include, exclude and vsinclude statements support globbing with '*'
+# 2. Symlinks are not dereferenced. Moreover, an include line whose path
+# contains, at any level, a symlink to a directory, will only have the
+# symlink backed-up, not the target directory's content. Yes, you have to
+# dereference yourself the symlinks, or to use 'mount --bind' instead.
+# Example: let's say /home is a symlink to /mnt/crypt/home ; the following
+# line will only backup a "/home" symlink ; neither /home/user nor
+# /home/user/Mail will be backed-up :
+# include = /home/user/Mail
+# A workaround is to 'mount --bind /mnt/crypt/home /home' ; another one is to
+# write :
+# include = /mnt/crypt/home/user/Mail
+# 3. All the excludes come after all the includes. The order is not otherwise
+# taken into account.
