The man page should mention that only one ```--exclude``` or ```--excludei``` flag is supported (you cannot pass two ```--exclude``` flags). This is distinct from the way e.g. rsync's ```--exclude``` flags are logically OR'd, and can cause user confusion (I for one thought that I had a typo in my regex, and spent ages trying to figure out why my first ```--exclude``` wasn't matching).

Arguably a warning should be printed if one flag overrides another, as it is for having both ```--exclude``` and ```--excludei``` flags.
