            Bug ID: 10941
           Summary: include should supersede max-size
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.9
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: core
          Assignee: wayned at samba.org
          Reporter: dgermansbz at Real-world-systems.com
        QA Contact: rsync-qa at samba.org

Most of the very large files I have are distributions from elsewhere. 
I have used --max-size=10MB to skip them.
I do have some specific files that I want transferred which are greater than
10MB so I entered them in the --include-from=includes.
I expected rsync to transfer the files listed in includes but it didn't.

--include[-from] is only for overriding excludes.

i think this is a very special use case and adding that as a feature would make
no sense, imho, as rsync shouldn`t be turned into a jack of all trades tool.

what about specifically syncing those files with an extra run ?
