Old repositories are always forwards compatible---you (should) never need to erase your backup directory because you want to use a new version. > And I have some additional feature-requests: > > (1) As far as I saw, there is no 'ls'-Feature, e.g. > rdiff-backup --ls-at-time 2006-01-19 /backups/daute > should output something like "ls -la /backups/daute" at a previous time. Yes, good point. I wonder if I add this though, then someone will want various sorting options, someone will think -la displays too much information, etc. Personally I'm happy with -la output. Can anyone think of a better display/format, or of a more flexible way to do this? > (2) rdiff-Backup should be able to parse the date-formats from the own > output.

Ok, patch at http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewcvs/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/Time.py?root=rdiff-backup&r1=1.12&r2=1.13&makepatch=1&diff_format=u -- Ben Escoto
