The technical use of the terms "include" and "exclude" in these passages is specific to include/exclude features that allow one to specify something that is included or excluded.
In other words, it is not the pattern or path itself that is included or excluded. For example, an "include pattern" is used to determine what will be "included". So the thing that will be "included" is the artifact that matches the "include pattern".
I hope that makes sense.
In light of that, I am closing this PR.
