I agree.  But what does that have to do with this?

My reasoning involved keeping all my rdiff-backup directories on one
partition, in order to limit their size, and also to have the mirror
directories free of rdiff-backup data for doing secondary backups on
those.  There are definitely workarounds but these seem like valuable
features to me (although I may be missing something).
