I'd like not to add new subcommands if possible (e.g., 'svn include',
'svn exclude'). That's a precious, precious namespace, and we can
already get at least the 'include' functionality through 'update'...
So can we get 'exclude' functionality without adding an 'exclude'
command? Some ideas to exclude subdir FOO:
svn update --depth -1 FOO /* ugly, though consistent in a way */
svn update --exclude FOO /* hmmm, I like this better */
By the way, I didn't understand what you meant by "...a specific entry
in the current dir, which also has a very complex subdir structure in
another entry". What would that be? (Is there an important use case
I'm not addressing above?)
