Ooh, though perhaps only the 'exclude' subcommand should allow this,
since you would get almost guaranteed bustedness if you use anything
other than a prefix with the 'include' subcommand. For example, the
command 'svndumpfilter include *.doc' will keep Word files, but not
the parent directories which hold them. :-)
