Add option to run one manifest or exclude one manifest to run

[handrus]

Should be fairly easy to add a options to kw-m to run only the desired manifest.
Optionaly exclude one manifest to run should also be desirable.

This is probably a little less easy than it sounds at a first glance. If you specify a manifest, should it run it dependencies first or not?

[handrus]

You're right, probably harder than I first thought.
IMHO it should run dependencies since this is a major component to making a manifest idempotent.
Also if we add a exclude option should it exclude the manifest even if it is a dependency of others?

Good questions.

Running one manifest with it's dependencies makes sense to me during development, but what would be the use case of excluding manifests?

[handrus]

I have one manifest that enable modules. I would need to run it before
reverting features (run just one manifest) after reverting features I would
like to run all manifest but the one that ran previously.

I assume you are not using the rest of Kraftwagen, because Kraftwagen offers a way to manage the enabled modules using the dependencies of the install profile.

Given that, why do you need to exclude the module-enabling manifest? Because manifests should be idempotent, that should be no problem to running that manifest again.
