Log only to a specific Timber Tree #378

How do I target Timber logs to only a specific tree?

I created a tree from DebugTree, but I failed to tell Timber which tree to use or not use. https://gist.github.com/rupinderjeet/b6721743078cc8bc615c6e300d02ae90

I think this is only possibly if I could overtake Timber class. But, then, I will lose correct file TAG functionality. Please suggest me a solution.

The whole point of the library is to multiplex to all trees so this is not really doable. If you want to target a single one I would access its instance directly through dependency injection or just storing it somewhere static. In the future we might allow passing metadata which would let you more easily filter messages which are not meant for your tree (#184), but I don't foresee ever being able to explicitly target a single tree.
