hi Moritz,

tried to answer to your users.sf.net email account. they (geek.net) seem to 
have issues with that (SMTP unknown user). anyway, i received your mail "Duply 
bug tracker – no permission" and tried to answer:

works as expected. just tested with a test account of another project. please 
follow these steps

1. goto http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=217745&atid=1041150
2. make sure you are logged in (right top should sport 'Me' instead of 'Log 
In') or log in there
3. use 'Add new' on page above, it's below the 'Summary' menu entry

.. you might as well stay on the list mow that you found your way here ;) but 
please try if the above works for you, and tell.

regarding your patch. i very much like to include it. however could you please 
still fix the following and repost?

1. remove-all-inc-of-but-n-full essentially "(in other words, keep only old 
full backups and not their increments)" . could you please change the 
descriptions and variable names accordingly? e.g.
MAX_FULLS_WITH_INCRS

2. add a description to the usage output?

thanks.. ede/duply.net
