Thanks, Marcin. I'm just a dumb writer. I don't know any scripting language. [Perhaps I should start.]

From what Bill says, looks like I won't be able to use this for the purpose I had in mind, but I think I'll give it a try. It might be useful down the road.

Is it possible to force inclusion of dot files? In the use I had in mind the .git files were the main challenge. There were several. Each associated with a plugin. Each with many files and more layers of folders than the plugins.
