Let /path/to/destination be the destination directory of an rdiff-backup call.
rdiff-backup creates and maintains a database of meta information in
subdirectory rdiff-backup-data, to be more precisely in
/path/to/destination/rdiff-backup-data
Question:
When calling rdiff-backup-delete is called, for example,
rdiff-backup-delete /path/to/destination/abc/def
to delete subdirectory "def" (or a file "def"), all meta information of "def"
is dropped in /path/to/destination/rdiff-backup-data.
But does rdiff-backup-delete also delete /path/to/destination/abc/def?
Or "def" be deleted manually by the administrator?
Could you clarify this issue, and also put your answer into the official
documentation of rdiff-backup-delete, please?
