In short, I only found the 10th increment being a snapshot code in
the metadata related python file. So, either rdiff-backup uses this
technique only for metadata, or I'm looking at the wrong places...
Hmm, I think that could be true. Can someone check their repository?
(I don't keep that many increments on the servers which are handy
right now.)
I guess it would be annoying if you had a 1gb file which had small,
semi-regular changes. Every 10 backups ... whoops, there's another 1gb
file.
