          . and .. are special names for this directory and this directory's parent respectively.



          You probably want something like .??* as your match pattern. This pattern requires at
          least three characters in the file name. It should exclude all hidden files and directories. It will miss directories like .a, but I haven't run across any such directories in the wild.

            Had exactly the same issue, you need to use



            --exclude '**/.*'


            to exclude dot files.
