This bug is biting me again. :-(

I have data in branches com.mycompany.xxx and
net.private.xxx, and these branches do overlap (because I
use "propagate" to synchronize stuff between my work and
home machine). My repository server knows these collections:

  com.mycompany
  net.private

So when I sync the first collection, Netsync won't work
because net.private isn't included and thus the anchestry
graph is incomplete. Then I sync the second collection and
Netsync doesn't work because com.mycompany isn't included
this time. In effect, it is impossible for me to sync either
branch! And I can't define a collection that _would_ include
both branches at the same time, so I am essentially stuck.

Any suggestions how to work around this problem?
