may specify the backup roots (starting points) and patterns for inclusion/exclusion.
A root path starts with the prefix `R`, followed by a path (a plain path, not a
file pattern). An include rule starts with the prefix +, an exclude rule starts
with the prefix -, both followed by a pattern.
with the prefix -, an exclude-norecurse rule starts with !, all followed by a pattern.
Inclusion patterns are useful to include paths that are contained in an excluded
path. The first matching pattern is used so if an include pattern matches before
an exclude pattern, the file is backed up.
an exclude pattern, the file is backed up. If an exclude-norecurse pattern matches
a directory, it won't recurse into it and won't discover any potential matches for
include rules below that directory.
Note that the default pattern style for ``--pattern`` and ``--patterns-from`` is
shell style (`sh:`), so those patterns behave similar to rsync include/exclude
