50 +When I originally looked at the &quot;exclude&quot; option, I thought it meant that it excluded pages completely, but it apparently doesn&#39;t.  What I&#39;ve found in practice is that a file which matches the &quot;exclude&quot; regex is excluded from *processing*, but it is still copied over to the destination directory.  Thus, for example, if I have &quot;^Makefile$&quot; as the exclude pattern, and I have a file `src/foo/Makefile`, then that file is copied unaltered into `dest/foo/Makefile`.  However, what I want is for `src/foo/Makefile` to be completely ignored: that it is not only not processed, but not even *copied* into the destination directory.
51 +
52 +I&#39;m not sure if the current behaviour is a bug or a feature, but I would like a &quot;totally ignore this file&quot; feature if it&#39;s possible to have one.
