Feature description

I have a media folder. This media folder contains a lot of subfolders, most of them are not synced. When i add a folder that is excluded, the log shows an entry that this folder has been excluded, and it's content therefore will not be synced.

I would like to see an option to the desktop client, so that a locally added, but excluded folder will then be "included" and synced automatically. Conflict resolution would then be applied like those files existed beforehand.

Example:

The following folders are on the server:

/media/a/123
/media/a/789
/media/b/123

The following folder is synced (as part of a /media syncronisation, only parts are selected):

/media/a/123
/media/b/

Now if i add /media/a/456, i would like that specific folder to be added to the sync, but not its already exluded neighbour 789.
