Hi there,

(Note: relative newby)

I'm wondering if it's possible to create a branch (starting as local  
but later on pushed to svn) that essentially stays in sync with the  
main branch (svn trunk) but both (a) ignores pulling in certain paths  
from trunk and (b) provides a few extra paths of its own (some of  
which overlap with those ignored from trunk) and (c) only pushes to  
trunk paths that are relevant for trunk (i.e., not specifically  
ignored)?

If someone's able to share how they'd go about setting this up that'd  
be great.

Thanks!

with regards,
