Description

It would be advantageous to be able to exclude specific files, e.g. "path/to/file.ext"

The current '-E' feature cannot do this, as the filter patterns are only applied to individual files as directory tree is traversed, so a filter will never see "path/to/file.ext", only "path", "to" and "file.ext"

See for example: SPARK-1493
