rsync - Mar 2006 - Patch for 2.6.7 (affects --exclude used with --relative)

For anyone combining --exclude with the --relative option and/or for
those who have packaged 2.6.7 binaries:

Please apply the following one-line patch to the code.  It fixes a bug
where an absolute --exclude without wildcards would fail to match if
--relative is in effect.

I'm anticipating that version 2.6.8 should be released in a week or two
to fix this bug and make any other minor changes that seem appropriate.
