[rdiff-backup-users] I Simply Don't Understand the Output

[Robinson, Eric]

When I run rdiff-backup --list-increment-sizes, it shows 0 bytes for October 29 and 30...

Thu Oct 29 02:55:24 2009         0 bytes           27.8 GB

If I look at the session statistics for those days, I see a confusing story. On October 29, there are 719 new files and 7 changed files, yet increment files are 0? From reading the documentation, shouldn't there be one increment file for each new or changed source file?
