An example would be the config.php file, which contains server specific information. This is obviously different for my laptop and the production server, so I don't want to upload it.

Not as far as I know.

Once the rules support is in bzr core then I imagine this would be easy
to add.

We don't have this today, but this is a feature I've been wanting for some time now (some sort of .bzrignore-upload). It's very common to have files versioned that you don't want uploaded in the web dev world.

Thanks some sort of .bzrignore-upload would be very useful. For the moment I think I can work round the problem with some horrible php hacks to get the server data in my files, so I don't need to hardcode server info.

Ian.

.bzrignore-upload is now supported, get a recent version of the plugin and enjoy.
