Slash prefix resolves to actual root instead of current working dir

[nettnikl]

Hi, just encountered an issue with the entries using a slash prefix.
And as there are cases where the excludes are to be employed only for entries in the current root directory (#8), i think this might be worth a look.

Some implementations of rsync type exclude lists (i'm using this) see the leading slash as the actual root path - not the PWD, the path we are executing the backup in.

My workaround is to use ./ instead, e.g. ./Android/Sdk instead of /Android/Sdk or Android/Sdk.

What's your thoughts?

You use restic.

Please try it out, if it works like expected in the standard Debian rsync too.

If yes, please add a pr that adds./ everyone where needed

I don't have a Debian installation at hand. I did the changes locally for me, so if someone has this issue with a standard Debian system and can confirm this solution, i'll prove the merge request.

You coult try inside a Debian docker container
