Two failures that compounded in the last round of ElvUI breakage:
1. The sweep script only lived in /tmp during a session — re-derived
from scratch each time, so the EXCLUDE_FORKS knowledge wasn't
anywhere reviewable.
2. The old filename-only filter ('if -ElvUI in name skip') missed
ElvUI's customizations inside otherwise-stock-named files AND
rsync --delete killed -ElvUI suffixed widgets that exist only in
ElvUI's bundle (e.g. AceGUIWidget-Button-ElvUI.lua).
This tool fixes both:
- Lives in the repo (tools/sweep.py), so the exclusion list is
visible in version control and reviewable.
- EXCLUDED_FORKS = {'coa-elvui'} hardcoded with an in-source comment
explaining why.
- --exclude='*-ElvUI*' passed to every rsync as belt-and-braces, so
even if a future fork accidentally carries an ElvUI-namespaced
file we never wanted to overwrite, the sweep won't touch it.
- Refuses to add new lib dirs — only updates ones already present
in the fork.
- --dry-run flag for safe verification.
README updated with a 'Forks excluded from sweep' section documenting
the same.
