Not sure if this is an acceptable feature but I wanted to see if it was possible 🙂

Allows a roblox folder's contents to be the sum of multiple flesystem folders' contents. Enhances the ability for rojo to change a project's form based on project files. E.G. multi-place games, libraries with tiered features for releases, a tests.project.json file

This feature may conflict with syncback since it introduces an ambiguity where new contents of a roblox folder should be stored. If possible, I think it would be acceptable to use the first path in the list of paths as a "dominant" one, treating it like the base folder on the filesystem.

Notes:

  • $paths is mutually exclusive with $path
  • $paths can only be on Folder nodes (maybe unnecessary?)
  • $paths can only point to folders
  • $paths ignores the metadata files in those folders (because none of them are the sole instance being synced)

Ideal for composing forms of a project depending on rojo's project files
 e.g. multi-place games, libraries with tiered features for releases, etc

Howdy! I'm going to wait to give this a review until syncback is merged since rather selfishly I don't want to handle the merge conflicts on a PR that's already massive. I will get back to you though, promise.

Agreed tbh, makes sense for the large structural change to go first. This PR should have to work with syncback rather than the other way around.
