Describe the bug

When I run plakar -stdio at @testing backup -ignore '*' -ignore '!**/*.yml' ~/.config, everything is ignored.

Steps to reproduce

  1. run plakar -stdio at @testing backup -ignore '*' -ignore '!**/*.yml' ~/.config, @testing being a FS store.
  2. Read the output

Expected behavior

Based on the docs, I was expecting the YAML files in ~/.config/plakar to be included.

Actual behavior
