Exclude-and-Recurse

Copy-Item - Exclude is ignored with Recurse

Fixed in v5.1

When Copy-Item is used with Exclude and Recurse then Exclude is ignored and items supposed to be skipped are copied, too.

The script Test-Copy-Item-Exclude.ps1 shows the problem. It is supposed to copy test.txt and skip test.log. But both files are copied, as a result.
