However, if you wanted to omit certain directories (systems), just add 
the appropriate exclude option to the rsync line (160 in version 0.3).  
Though there is very little size difference (about 330MB for the entire 
set of repos), it would prevent that system's child channel from being 
created or populated, saving time on initial setup and subsequent 
syncs.  Or you could just remove the directories and symlinks from the 
local repo through another means.

This could also be added as an option, one we considered.
