Hi John,

it decided whether to create a "LOCAL" folder on "REMOTE" depending if a
folderfilter setting in the *local* repository applies to the local folder.

Should we check for all new local folders if the corresponding folder would be
filtered out using the remote folderfilters too before deciding whether
to create one? That would actually make sense, so I made it so. Can you
delete the label and retry? Besides erronous folders, there is no
increased danger of data loss.

Thanks,
Sebastian

Do not create folder on REMOTE if it would fall in REMOTE's folderfilter
    
Previously, we only checked if a LOCAL folder falls under the local
repositories folderfilter rule when deciding whether a folder should be
created on REMOTE.
    
However, we also do not want to create the folder on REMOTE if it would
fall under a folderfilter rule there. This patch prevents us from doing
so.
