The
statement just above is not true. You can have as many --exclude
options as you wnat but only one item (or group of items using *) can be
excluded per --exclude option.

=======================================================================
Gil-galad was an Elven-king. Of him the harpers sadly sing: the last
whose realm was fair and free between the Mountains and the Sea. His
sword was long, his lance was keen, his shining helm afar was seen; the
countless stars of heaven's field were mirrored in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away, and where he dwelleth none can say; for into
darkness fell his star in Mordor where the shadows are. -- J. R. R.
Tolkien
