Description Roland Schulz CLA 2013-06-06 12:42:28 EDT
We should better support the case that one user uses two workstations which both sync to the same remote directory. If the remote side already has a .ptp-sync folder the filter should be initialized with the remote info/exclude file. 
Otherwise it doesn't work correctly, unless the user manually sets
the filter the same for both workstations. 

But currently we don't know yet, that we will use the git sync provider in the project wizard until after we set the filter. So we need to decide to either
- move the filter to later in the wizard
- make the decision which sync provider to use earlier

Reading the file filter from the remote workspace for a newly created project only resolves the issue caused by creating a project on a 2nd desktop. If we want to support the user switching between both workspaces, we need to sync the filter also after the project is created. This probably can be best achieved by putting the filter itself under version control (i.e. adding .ptp-sync/info/exclude to the repo). To be able to change the filter during the wizard we would need to download the filter manual(=not using git) and only use git/VC from then on to upload/download the filter.
