If your data directories are completely distinct, as in this example, I'd
advice using a
wrapper script and different FSVS_WAA and FSVS_CONF paths.

No; but I'm currently working to get patterns define the URL to be used, that
might do
what you want.

Yes, you'd have to use different FSVS_CONF and FSVS_WAA paths.

Hmmm, maybe?
As update, sync-repos and revert don't use the ignore patterns, and you're
using the
correct set on commit, it *could* work.

Yes, that's what I'd propose - at least until the grouping patterns can give a
default URL.

Hmm, that's not so easy.
- You could define *each* directory as it's own working copy, so they
wouldn't be nested.
- You could use FSVS_WAA and FSVS_CONF (with ignore patterns like
"/*/dir1/" etc.).
- You could wait for the feature already mentioned above; then you
could simply put at the end of your grouping patterns
group:to_url1,/*/dir1/**
and define the default URL for the group "to_url1".

It shouldn't give any problems, AFAIK.

I hope the ideas above help a bit ... if they do not, just ask.

You're welcome!
