--exclude and --include take inline patterns but there is no way to load patterns from a file. For large deployments this is tedious.
Location
src/client/client_cli.c
Suggested Fix
Add --exclude-from <file> and --include-from <file> flags that read patterns line-by-line from a file. Store them in the existing exclude_patterns/include_patterns arrays.
