What's happening here is that rclone doesn't understand the {data/Go,stack/Gitea} part well enough to include it in directory filters so rclone is showing all directories. It won't be showing the files except in the places you asked for.

You can fix this by splitting into two includes

--include='/data/Go/**' --include='/stack/Gitea/**'

Or like this (which matches more than your original but may be good enough

--include='/{data,stack}/{Go,Gitea}/**'

Putting the / in the {} causes rclone not to be able to apply the directory filters

Maybe rclone should issue a warning, or a debug in this case?

A message would be nice, yes. Thanks for the help. will fix it with having 2 includes.
