First of all, thank you for this impressive peace of software.
I think the counterpart to the --exclude switch could be useful.
Use case: a huge directory DIR which should be excluded and a configuration file DIR/config which should be archived.
attic create $REPOSITORY $HOME --exclude $HOME/DIR --include $HOME/DIR/config
The only other possibilities would be to keep track of the contents of DIR and exclude everything except config within DIR, which is cumbersome and error prone, or to copy DIR/config to some other place before the backup.
