heh i was about to write up a bug report about this too -- i just upgraded
rdiff-backup from 0.11.0 to 0.13.x and while testing i noticed lots of
"useless" increment files. (somehow i never noticed them before.)
the option i was considering was to have rdiff-backup have some threshold
for small patches below which it tries applying the patch and looks for a
difference, and deletes the patch if it's a NOP.
