Currently, on mainline, push/pull/sync have been changed to take a
regular expression instead of a collection -- collections don't exist
anymore. Functionally, this is great; UI-wise, I'm wondering how cool
it really is to be typing "net\.venge\.monotone(|\..*)" or whatever?
Would it be better to have a UI that took any number of globs, and
used those? So like:
$ monotone pull net.venge.monotone net.venge.monotone.*
would be equivalent to the above regexp; and
$ monotone pull net.venge.monotone*
would be equivalent to the current net.venge.monotone collection?
Maybe with a --regexp switch that switches it over to being
interpreted as a regexp, for the cases when you want that?
What do people think?
