Assert exactly which entries are/aren't transferred, deep in the tree:
filter-depth --exclude/--include precedence on files at every level, and
a -F per-directory .rsync-filter loaded from a deep dir that
applies to that subtree only (not above it).
cvs-exclude -C built-in cruft patterns (*.o, *~) at every level plus a
deep per-directory .cvsignore scoped to its subtree.
size-filter --max-size / --min-size select the right files all the way
down.
files-from-depth --files-from selects only the listed deep paths (implied
parents created); --from0 NUL-delimited; --exclude-from /
--include-from filter at depth.
(--existing / --ignore-existing are covered in delete-deep_test.py.)
Green on master and under --protocol=29/30.
