Re: 2.0a16 - copy with purge does not respect "include="

[Mark . Burgess]

I do not fully understand this. Include checks for certain patterns
of files within the directories which are spanned by the recursive
search. It has no effect on subdirectories, that would require "ignore".
The purge command depends on the files which are seen by the search, so
if the recursion level is too low, it will not "see" the subdirectories.
