   BUG FIXES:
 
+    * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+      This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
+      matching more consistent and intuitive.  This should hopefully not
+      cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
+      what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
+
+      - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
+        For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
+
+      - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo).
+
+      - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
+        the transfer.  E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
+        just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does.
+
+      - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
+        against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
+        there aren't any interior slashes in the term.  E.g. "foo**bar"
+        would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
+        "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance).

       properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
