The thing is, you are very likely going to get the children anyway, at 
least those that have been merged back so the only thing you'll be able 
to exclude are the branch certs themselves. I wonder if being able to 
"exclude" things like this is really worth he trouble since it often 
won't do what you might expect anyway.

If we go with your suggestion above and drop the ability to "exclude" 
things we might be there too.
