[FieldTrip] ft_channelrepair only for certain trials: repaired data only contain those certain trials

[Vitória Piai]

Thanks, Eelke!

I had already done what you suggested. The issue is that ft_appenddata 
appends (;-) ) the data rather than restoring it back to normal. Since I 
defined all trials to repair at the very beginning, none of the indexes 
for those trials make sense anymore after the first call to 
ft_appenddata. I guess I'll work around it by keeping values rather than 
indices for the trials I need to repair.

Thanks a lot,
Hope all is well in Nijmegen!!
