rsync - Mar 2003 - Recursive filetype include

Hello,

I have a directory tree that contains many files of type .htm. I don't
want these when I rsync - so I used the option --exclude '*.htm'

There is however, one subdirectory (and all of its subdirectories)
that I would like to include these .htm files.

I tried using many variations of --include 'subdir/*.htm' but this
does not seem to work. It includes the .htm's in the main subdirectory
- but not any of its subdirectories.

Is there anyway I can get rsync to recursively include this filetype
for all the subdirectories of a subdirectory - yet exclude these types
for all the other branches of the main directory tree?

Any info would be most appreciated,
-Mark

Please post your exact command line and a careful description of your
directory structure. You are certainly thinking along the right lines, but
without details, its hard to know why it isn't working for you.
