[rdiff-backup-users] Comments in include-filelist file?

[Scott Carpenter]

I'd like to include comments in files for --include-filelist and 
--include-globbing-filelist, but noticed an error when I tried using the 
hash symbol #:

----------------------
Reading filelist /home/example/rdiff-include-list.txt
Warning: file specification '# a comment' in filelist 
/home/example/rdiff-include-list.txt
doesn't start with correct prefix /home/example.  Ignoring.
Sorting filelist /home/example/rdiff-include-list.txt
----------------------

Is there a way to legally have comments in the include files?

Seems pretty basic but searching google with queries including the word 
"comment" adds a lot of noise to the results so I'm resorting to bothering you 
people. :-)

Thanks!

Scott
