Yes, I did. I'm not quite clear here whether you're arguing that I'm
contradicting you, or arguing that you contradicted your own statement
that "You can't."

Dmitri, if you look at the approach I proposed, it would back up the
entire tree and only exclude specific files, which entirely sidesteps
the parent-directory-metadata problem you mentioned. Excluding only
the files you don't want is a simpler solution altogether. Are you
arguing that it won't work? Your point is unclear.
