Re: [PATCH] git-remote exclude

Hi,

"git-remote exclude" can be used to prevent one or more unwanted remote

    $ git-remote origin exclude man html
"git-fetch origin" will no longer fetch origin/man and origin/html.

That is not what your patch does.

It rewrites the "remote.$name.fetch" entries so that those branches are 
not _updated_, but they are _fetched_ nevertheless.

But then, I don't really see _why_ you would want such a solution. After 
all, you are more likely to be interested in _specific_ branches, rather 
than all branches _except_ a few.

IMHO "git remote expand <name>" to expand the wildcards and "git remote 
copy <dest> <src>" would be more useful.
