Bug Description

When using --partial-dir=x, partially transferred files are kept in x. From the man page,

"If the partial-dir value is not an absolute path, rsync will add
              an exclude rule at the end of all your existing excludes."

If I further use --delete-excluded, then the partial dir is deleted before the transfer resumes. So no more partial-transfer resume.

The partial-dir exclude should be added after executing --delete-excluded, or should not use the same mechanism as the exclude rule.
