Package: dirvish Version: 1.2.1-1.1 Severity: wishlist Hi!
It would be nice if dirvish would allow multiple --reference options in effect (rsync allow up to 30 references, I believe). This makes sense in the following scenario: I have two computers, both running Debian, but each one has different user data. I backup each to its own branch in the same vault. I create an initial Backup for machine1 and another initial backup for machine2, this time referencing machine1's initial backup. This means that initially stuff like /usr and /bin will be shared between the two branches, but gradually, as I run "aptitude upgrade" every now and then, each branch will contain it's own copy of /usr. Multiple references would solve this problem by allowing both the last backup from the same branch as well as the last backup from the other branch as referece at the same time.
