[Monotone-devel] Issue 212 - sync needs list of include patterns (monotone)

[code]

Hello,

A new issue has been created:

212 - sync needs list of include patterns
Project: monotone
Status: New
Reported by: Stephen Leake
Labels:
 Priority:Medium
 Type:f

Description:

We have a database with several branches: 
common.main
common.main_lynx_5
common.mms_version_01

dscovr.dscovr_version_01
dscovr.main
dscovr.main_lynx_5
dscovr.work_dscovr_release
common.work_dscovr_release

gpm.gpm_version_15
gpm.main
gpm.main_lynx_5
common.work_gpm_release
gpm.work_gpm_release

dvc.main
emacs_stephe.main
gds_notes

'common' is shared by all customers; 'dscovr' and 'gpm' are two customers. 
'dvc.main', 'emacs_stephe.main', gds_notes are tools, used by all customers.

'work_*' branches are used for preparing releases.

in the 'dscovr' customer lab, we only want to sync a subset of the branches:

common.main
common.main_lynx_5
common.mms_version_01
dscovr.dscovr_version_01
dscovr.main
dscovr.main_lynx_5

dvc.main
emacs_stephe.main
gds_notes

can do this with exclude, but it's tedious, and needs continuous maintenance as 
more customers are added. It would be simpler if the sync include pattern was a 
list.
