Re: [rdiff-backup-users] PATCH: Exclude if present

[Jeff Strunk]

.NOBACKUP is a regular file that users can put into directories that they 
don't need to get backed up. You could also tell users to rena,e their 
directories a specific way, but that could cause some trouble with how they 
work.

Thanks,
Jeff
