auto-exclude mode ?

When using tar on different partitions, tar prunes the mounting points as
we expect to.

When we have big disks, we backup different directories defined in the
disklist but if some directories are included in some other ones, data in
subdirectories are backup twice if we do not build up an ad-hoc exclude
list. This kind of exclude list is cumbersome and error prone...

With an auto-exclude option, AMANDA could figure this up and exclude the
subdirectories from the directories above.

Does this make sense ?
Any candidate in the audience to hack this up ? :-)

Thank you !
