URLs (*especially* %) than to avoid characters that are meaningful to
the shell. People expect to have to quote URLs. Also, I don't like /
as a separator when it's not traversing a directory-like hierarchy.
So, how about this?
protocol://address@hidden/path/to/database?include,include,-exclude,-exclude
should work equally well for mtn (with usher), ssh, and file. Without
usher, you just leave out the /path part.
(Also, ~ in the path part should absolutely have the 'go to home
directory' semantic.)
