Description

Scenario:
I have a repo that has many files I don't want to cause a rebuild. So I want to use the only parameter to docker_build. I also want it to be fast, so I use live_update. The files don't all go to the exact same directory.

Question:
Do I have to list each file/directory twice (once in only, once in a sync line)? Is there fall-through? We should document this case (and consider improving the behavior).

Research direction

Start with the docker_build documentation for the only parameter and the live_update sync configuration, then verify whether paths fall through between them. Done means documenting whether files must be listed twice and clearly separating any behavior improvement from the documentation change.
