The "last-modified" date on a directory shows when there has been any

That assumption is not correct. Not with reiser-fs on my linux box at
least, as this will illustrate:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work> ls -ld /home/
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 120 2006-03-31 22:43 /home/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work> ls -ld /home/peter/
drwxr-xr-x 58 peter peter 3560 2006-07-21 10:13 /home/peter/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/work> ls -l /home/peter/.xsession-errors
-rw------- 1 peter peter 70805535 2006-07-21 19:26
/home/peter/.xsession-errors
So it makes sense that somebody might want to save time and CPU and HD time
by asking rdiff-backup to ignore directories that haven't been changed
since the last backup.
I don't follow that.
Is there such an option on rdiff-backup?
Have no idea! :D
