| Ugh. Hate to reply to my own post, but hopefully I
will prevent someone else from making a fool of
themselves.
I hadn't found the Filter FAQ - if you prefix your
filters with
-*
it seems to take care of the problem. The log report
at the end was a little bizarre; it said it had
written ~200 files for a total of 2MB, but had scanned
~30MB, which was more appropriate. Sure enough, the
mirror directory is 30MB in size. So it did retrieve
everything it was supposed to, without needlessly
traversing the upper levels, but the log file seems
out of sync with what it did.
Regardless, I was able to solve my problem. | |
