I maintain a mirror of a repository that I must sneakernet sync using a "dump, burn cd, load" process. I use --deltas and --incremental to dump. I do not have access to every directory in the repository. Occasionally, I am given access to a directory after it has existed for some time. The revision that the directory was created in was an empty revision as a result of my permissions. When I attempt to load a revision that modifies a file in this directory, the load fails, since the changed files don't exist in the mirror. I'm wondering if there is an easy to way to bring my mirror back into sync? A dumpfilter could let me bring it nearly into sync by excluding the directory in question. Would dumping a revision from the repository without the incremental option and loading it to the mirror create the missing directory and files?
