[Borgbackup] Cannot exclude directories

[Nick Gilmour]

Thanks both!

I have tested again like you suggested and it works (without quoting and
with paths starting from root).

Like this:
*/dir # excludes directory & all its content

*/dir/ # excludes only directory's content - keeps directory


Regards,

Nick
