    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Currently the implementation of this option explicitly checks that its
argument is a regular file, see presence_get_sf function in selection.py:

def sel_func(rp):
    if rp.isdir() and rp.readable() and rp.append(presence_filename).isreg():
return include
    return None


But I'd like to use it with directories to exclude backup of CVS and svn
checkouts, e.g. --exclude-if-present=.svn. Would it be possible to relax this
check to also work with directories?

Thanks in advance!
