Currently, django-admin.py dumpdata can only exclude whole apps. It would be useful if it supported exclusion of indiviual models with --exclude app_label.model.

Specifically, this would be useful for excluding auto-generated permissions while still allowing auth.User to be serialized.

Joshua,
Thanks for a great patch, works perfectly! And as SmileyChris pointed, it is especially useful for dumping/loading data, since it enables dumping omitting only the contenttypes app and the auth.Permission model, and in combination with natural keys it makes it possible to fully automate dumping/loading procedure.
