Yay!  Thanks for looking into this, and sorry I didn't respond sooner.

I know the doc has a "use case" section, but I suppose I am not sure that I understand the use case yet. Is this about improving the filter syntax to handle features like directory listing? Or is this about being able to make better use of deltas in a partial clone, to decrease bandwidth consumption and overhead that is proportional to size?

Thanks, Jonathan
