OK, I note it for future use. Since I am not very familiar with grep
and scripting it might perhaps be easier to dumpfilter
trunk/project/path/images. Though still some typing for varying
paths there are less than folders than files. Of course, some other
files in those folders would go, too ... So none of the ways is very
efficient or elegant. Perhaps a post-2 feature - regex support?
