Description
In many cases we need to download a previous version of a project but only need the project files. In these cases, it would be useful to be able to add a filter to the project download, for example to exclude all media files, so we aren't downloading several GBs of data when we only need the project and config files.
Examples:
mergin download ws/projectname --exclude=media/* --exclude=mybgnd.mbtiles
mergin download ws/projectname --include=data/* --include=*.gpkg --include=project.qgz
No mixing between includes and excludes.
