Include doesn't work in rsync from potato?

[Mike Fedyk <mfedyk@matchmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm setting up a rsync mirror of debian, but I'm having some trouble with
the include in rsync.

Check the attached script, and exclude files.

What I want to be able to do is just have a include for i386 and powerpc,
but I have to exclude everything else instead.

This doesn't look very incouraging for woody/sid because for each new arch
I'll have to add another exclude line. :(

I've tried reverse exludes, reverse includes (you can --include ! pattern).

I've been pretty thurough, so plese test your suggestions before you accuse.

In this case I've included stable/i386, and didn't exclude woody/sid, and it
is trying to get non potato files!
