Re: nocreation more than auto less than batch

While I agree that auto is perhaps not working as one might expect here, I
think you can achieve your goal without nocreation.

If I understood your goal correctly, you can simply use the path
preferences. You keep your roots the same, and then add a path preference
for each current_project. Everything else in either root is ignored, only
the specified paths are synced. You can add and remove the path preferences
as you go.
