I don't know that this will help many folks, but if you're familiar with
UNIX find, just think of skip as equivalent to -prune.  (At least for
what happens during the backup and how other directives can be
processed.  The index issues Preston points to are somewhat separate).

You can't override anything underneath -prune, because nothing under
there is ever visited to turn on an override.
