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, --
