push and pull now allow for selection of types e.g only files, only directories using flags `--files` or `--directories`. * Pull: - Exhibit A: No type sifting/selection -- ordinary pull ```shell drive pull a1 Resolving... - /test/a1 - /test/a1/b2 - /test/a1/b2/c3 - /test/a1/b2/c3/d4 - /test/a1/b2/c3/d4/e5 - /test/a1/b2/c3/test.txt Deletion count 6 Proceed with the changes? [Y/n]: ``` - Exhibit B: only files ```shell $ drive pull --files a1 Resolving... - /test/a1/b2/c3/test.txt Deletion count 1 Proceed with the changes? [Y/n]: ``` - Exhibit C: only directories ```shell $ drive pull --directories a1 Resolving... - /test/a1 - /test/a1/b2 - /test/a1/b2/c3 - /test/a1/b2/c3/d4 - /test/a1/b2/c3/d4/e5 Deletion count 5 Proceed with the changes? [Y/n]: ``` - Exhibit D: illogical state, both files and directories ```shell $ drive pull --directories --files a1 cannot request for both file and folder ``` * Push: - Exhibit A: No type sifting/selection -- ordinary request ```shell $ mkdir -p a1/b2/c3/d4/e5 && touch a1/b2/c3/test.txt $ drive push a1 Resolving... + /test/a1 + /test/a1/b2 + /test/a1/b2/c3 + /test/a1/b2/c3/d4 + /test/a1/b2/c3/d4/e5 + /test/a1/b2/c3/test.txt Addition count 6 Proceed with the changes?
