  Thank you --- I appreciate constructive feedback! 

  I'm happy to do a proper --exclude. I would have rather done it that way to
begin with, but it was hard to hack up in a moment. I posted because I wanted
to clear my queue of patches.
  I would propose, like rsync:
        --exclude=glob
        --exclude-from=FILE
        --scm-exclude=FILE                         

  Last one could be set to, for instance:
           --scm-exclude=.cvsignore
 
  (and could occur multiple times)

  [did my patch to create jffs2cpio make it out?]
