+I am not sure if that is a bug or a feature, but it is annoying and definitively related to this post:
+
+ $ echo A >src/get
+ $ echo A >src/noget
+
+ $ ikiwiki src out
+ $ cat out/noget
+ A
+
+ $ ikiwiki src out --exclude noget
+ $ cat out/noget
+ A
+
+ $ ikiwiki src out --exclude noget --rebuild
+ $ cat out/noget
+ A
+
+ $ rm out/noget
+ rm : remove file «out/noget» ? y
+
+ $ ikiwiki src out --exclude noget
+ $ cat out/noget
+ cat: cannot access out/noget: No such file or director
+
+I am really confused with the exclude feature.
+
+Is there a way to make ikiwiki consider that a file in the `srcdir` should not be present in the `destdir` and thus removed if present?
