 dit(bf(-F)) The bf(-F) option is a shorthand for adding two bf(--filter) rules to
 your command.  The first time it is used is a shorthand for this rule:
 
-quote(tt(   --filter=': /.rsync-filter'))
+quote(tt(   --filter='dir-merge /.rsync-filter'))
 
 This tells rsync to look for per-directory .rsync-filter files that have
 been sprinkled through the hierarchy and use their rules to filter the
 files in the transfer.  If bf(-F) is repeated, it is a shorthand for this
 rule:
 
-quote(tt(   --filter='- .rsync-filter'))
+quote(tt(   --filter='exclude .rsync-filter'))
 
 This filters out the .rsync-filter files themselves from the transfer.
