Yes, right. The exclusions are currently matched against the last
component of the path, I forgot about that. We will try to address
this at some point.

Hm, that's surprising:

$ b
c++ cxx{hello}
hello.cxx: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
hello.cxx:7:7: error: ‘argc1’ was not declared in this scope
   if (argc1 != 2)
       ^
info: failed to update dir{./}
$ echo $?
1

Can you give more details (which platform, what's the command line, etc)?

Thanks, I am glad you have noticed.
