Possible misbehaviour of du in get_source_file_size() when using include/exclude globbing filelists

[zertrin]

It doesn't seem that the function get_source_file_size() handles the case when include/exclude globbing filelists are used.

This should be fixed in a future version.

If I may add a request to this one, it would be great if the -l option could show the size of the backed up files so that one can grep+awk and check whether there is something that needs shrinking.

Some more info on this issue: the problem is basically that when using include/exclude-filelists with duplicity, there isn't yet an easy way to translate that into something that du can understand. Thus the script fallback to just applying du to the ROOT variable.

Help and patches are welcomed ;)

I guess the patch could also involve #113 as there must be a new way to provide the--exclude/include-filelist options somehow and from there process the +/--es.
