<span class="minilink minilink-addedin">New in version 1.7.12</span> That's
where the `!retain` tag comes in. Whenever you're merging an included file
into your configuration file, you can optionally add the `!retain` tag to
particular local mappings or sequences to retain the local values and ignore
particular local mappings or lists to retain the local values and ignore
included values.
For instance, start with this configuration file containing the `!retain` tag
@ -318,14 +318,13 @@ Once this include gets merged in, the resulting configuration will have a
`keep_daily` value of `5` and nothing else in the `retention` section. That's
because the `!retain` tag says to retain the local version of `retention` and
ignore any values coming in from the include. But because the `repositories`
sequence doesn't have a `!retain` tag, that sequence still gets merged
together to contain both `common.borg` and `repo.borg`.
list doesn't have a `!retain` tag, it still gets merged together to contain
both `common.borg` and `repo.borg`.
The `!retain` tag can only be placed on mapping and sequence nodes, and it
goes right after the name of the option (and its colon) on the same line. The
effects of `!retain` are recursive, meaning that if you place a `!retain` tag
on a top-level mapping, even deeply nested values within it will not be
merged.

Additionally, the `!retain` tag only works in a configuration file that also
performs a merge include with `<<: !include`. It doesn't make sense within,
