Exclude not excluding files in nested folders

Current behavior

Files that should be excluded remain in the release in the release output.

In the example below...

example.js is removed from the root
assets/test.js remains in the output
Everything in assets/src remains in the output

Expected behavior

Files that match the exclude pattern should be excluded from the release output.

In the example below...

example.js should be removed from the root
assets/test.js should be removed from the assets directory
Everything in assets/src should be removed
