Re: [Bug-wget] Wish: --no-parent with new option --allow-directories

[Paul Wratt]

what about optional dir values for --no-parent that do parse certain dirs
like: --no-parent=a/b/*,d/* (== --no-parent-allow=a/b/*,d/*)

at least that way --include-directories=  and --exclude-directories=
can still be applied
