I think that the hard part of this is how to present this to the end
user - right now, we just have one pattern of variable (remote.*.url,
where "*" is a wildcard) and one pattern of value with specific
properties (e.g. this is a glob, not a regular expression, and the
special value "**" is supported).
Once we figure that out, I would think that we could implement it in a
way similar to this patch. As for whether we should wait until the full
feature before merging any code that does includeIf based on a variable
(in order to avoid having code that would quickly be replaced by other
code), in this case, unless there is another use case for this, I think
we should proceed with the use case that we know about first
(conditional include of a file supplied by a remote repo administrator).
