Pattern file starts with some global includes and excludes:
# global includes
R /root
R /etc
# global excludes
! /proc
! /sys
! /dev
- /home/*/.cache/
- re:.*\.lock$
- re:.*\.tmp$

Backup directory /home is given on the commandline, there is no include specified after the first exclude in the pattern file.

I'd like to get warnings to this kind of issue, just not for included files. Thus I'd prefer not to ignore specific non-zero exitcodes.
