That's an interesting point -- a lot of us have gotten used to doing f-mangled searches and/or wild-card listings of backups. Fuse filesystem search would be relatively slow since it would still need to read all the attrib files and rebuild deltas. Similarly, for any routine that rebuilds based on the atrrib files. > A directory history does some of that if the directory name remains > constant, but in some cases even the directory name changes from > release to release.
