Exclude before include

[dscole]

In my project I want to restrict the coverage data to only source files inside the project, so I use --include ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}. But, I also want to exclude the test files themselves from the coverage, so I would like to use --exclude test/. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, because in this code:

fastcov/fastcov.py

Line 144 in 558f9da

# Check exclude filter

It seems like if there are any includes, the excludes are basically ignored. If I just move the handling of the excludes to before the includes, everything works as expected for me.
Is there any reason why includes would be first?

It seems like if there are any includes, the excludes are basically ignored.

Indeed, I originally thought of --include and --exclude as being mutually exclusive options.

However, I suppose there's no reason we couldn't remove the mutual exclusion and then specify in the readme that if both are provided, --exclude takes precedence.
