How to only retrieve what's already in the package.xml?

[tggagne]

It isn't clear from dmc retrieve -h how I can only pull what's described in my package.xml. I don't want anything more than what's there.

Currently, dmc doesn't use the package.xml for deployment/retrieval. By design it's meant to be a file system tool and globbing patterns are the way to select the files for deploy and retrieval.

It would be fairly easy to add a --use-package flag or something and I'd be happy to entertain that pull request. I might also try to add this in the next major version.
