Description
Since the "boss.json" file contains the key "mainsrc" I was supposing that when the "boss update" command is executed boss download only the indicated folder.
Instead boss downloads ALL folders inside a package.
For example I have also a "TestApp" folder inside each package and when I update boss packages in the folder "./modules/PACKAGE" I found both folders "[mainsrc]" and "TestApp".
Is there a way to download only "mainsrc" folder?

Research direction
Start at the boss update command and its handling of the boss.json mainsrc key; inspect how package folders are selected under ./modules/PACKAGE. Done means updating a package downloads only mainsrc instead of sibling folders such as TestApp.
