[rdiff-backup-users] AssertionError: Too many recent increments

[ml ml]

Hello List,

i am getting the following error (when doing a backup, checklist or remove):
AssertionError: Too many recent increments


Doing a "ls -alh | grep incre | wc -l" in rdiff-backup-data shows 92 hits.

Any idea how i can fix that? I am using rdiff version 1.2.8.
