-Inverse of exclude, yum will exclude any package in the repo. that doesn't
-match this list. This works in conjunction with exclude and doesn't override it,
-so if you exclude=*.i386 and includepkgs=python* then only packages starting

+This is the inverse of exclude. Yum will exclude any package in the repo that

+For example, if you exclude=*.i386 and includepkgs=python* for a repo, then
