[feature request] consider .rsync-filter files

[Raphaël Droz <raphael droz gmail com>]

Hi,
let me thank you a lot for meld,
it's a hardly replaceable software. I mainly use it for VCS repositories 
but also to diff/merge rsync backups.
In this case, the missing thing is an option to make meld considering 
the .rsync-filter files that rsync interprets with -F.
The would reduce the useful different files that change between two backups.
Though I don't know how "low-level" this ability has to be implemented 
(it may prove useful for diff, or for duplicity also)
The .rsync-filter file format doesn't seem too complex but the 
directories exclusion/inclusion priorities tweaks it implies may 
sometimes be tricky.
I'm sorry not being able to help you further in attempting an 
implementation, but I send the request anyway.

Regards

Raphaël
