consider the site where index.html is in the root directory of some site and everything else is underneath. In order to make a small update to index.html, I have to download my entire site subtree. I tried this today and it just kept crunching away (and eventually orion.eclipse.org crashed, though I'm not sure it was related to me.) My server has a bunch of stuff underneath the main "public-html" directory that I will never edit. This is even where my hosting service put a wordpress install! And server scripts, etc. I'm never going to change that stuff. So either I have to do live editing (which I'm not really a fan of for real world stuff) or else we need a way to define a site mapping where I can define the files/folders on my real site that I want to work with. Then I could just export all my stuff back to the site when I'm ready to deploy. Another question is...if there is a "deploy" step to export files back to my site, what is the staging/testing step? I could imagine an Orion "ftp" site mapping where all files not in the orion workspace are fetched from the original site, much like we do self hosting.
