It turns out this is not true; the code supports multiple include
patterns, but the user manual says (in the URI syntax) that it does not.

I added a unit test in monotone/test/unit/tests/uri.cc that demonstrates
this:

  test_one_uri("mtn://venge.net/monotone?include1;-exclude1;-exclude2;include2",
               "mtn", "", "venge.net", "", "/monotone", "{include1,include2}", 
"{exclude1,exclude2}");

In the user manual, the URI syntax is described as:

<scheme>://[[<user>@@]<host>[:<port>]][/<path>][?<pattern>[;-<exclude-pattern>[...]]]

That says there is only one include pattern, but multiple exclude
patterns. The examples only show one include and one exclude.

I suggest we change it to this:

<scheme>://[[<user>@@]<host>[:<port>]][/<path>][?<include-pattern>[;<include-or-exclude-pattern>]...]

Branches matching a pattern are excluded if the pattern starts with
'-', included otherwise.

...
mtn://my.server/project?one.branch;-one.branch.test;another.branch;-another.branch.test
...


Comments?
