in the past I was used to:
1) cp blocks.properties local.blocks.properties 2) vi local.blocks.properties 3) uncomment the blocks that I wanted to exclude
Today, I have to go thru a bunch of include and change them from true to false. Much more hassle than just uncommenting/commenting one line.
Ok, but it should be fairly easy to make "include" properties default to "true" if nothing else is defined - then it (almost) solves an issue: block.properties can contain comments only, and explain format. And local.block.properties can define properties in any syntax - include or exclude.
Thanks for the constructive idea. I have it working now the following way: internal.exclude set through include set through exclude property. In blocks.properties there are #include=false lines (except for the deprecated ones), blocks are included by default. This solution would bring back Stefano's uncommenting/commenting, but has one down side: the deprecated blocks excluded via include=false in blocks.properties can not be included by exclude=false (as it is possible now, backwards compatibility), but must be included by include=true.
WDYT? Commit?
