How about the posibility to activate/desactivate a repository on a specific node ? … For example, for maintenance actions, but without shuting down to whole node, or reset fonction.
I’m actually playing a lot whith syncthing, using a cluster of at least 4 nodes, and testing different cases, like behavior of mixed RO/RW repos. To me, it would be interesting to put a repo “offline” for a moment, but keeping the other repos of this node in sync.
This could emerge the ability to have a kind of “backup/spare” version of a single repo, without using the shutdown/reset feature

More like #183, but yes, that’s it …
