so you want an analog to --exclude that works for categories instead of
only for tags?

Should be easy to implement. I’m inclined to just extend --exclude to
support two kinds of invocations:
 --exclude tag
or 
 --exclude category:

This is in line with the new --intervals feature (not released yet) that
also takes either a tag or a category. Is that what you want?


While I am at it: Do you find arbtt useful? What do you use it for? Do
you have any creative categorizing you want to share? What other reports
would you find useful?

There is a mailinglist at http://lists.nomeata.de/mailman/listinfo/arbtt
that you might be interested in joining.

Greetings,
Joachim
