Hi Patrik,
Nice job! I haven't heard about rdiffweb (feel like ignorant now,
apologies), as it seems to be really great piece of software!
For some reason it reminded me Apple TimeMachine :)
Would be great if some "movement"/fuzzy logic would be implemented, but
I get your point.
From my side I'm operating within NGO hence the limits above and can't
afford to purchase support to support this development. I offer my
service as volunteer aside of professional life.

Hello Dave,
About the maintainership. I don't plan to maintain rdiff-backup. I've
already take over rdiffweb. Still, I do have some interest to get bug
fixed since I'm offering professional services related to backup and
rdiff-backup is in the center of the service provided.
In long term, unless someone take over rdiff-backup, I will need to
port it to python3 if I have to continue providing my service.

Tracking moves has been discussed at length in the past, and we
haven't been able to see a way past the very expensive calculation
of checksums to match files.
I think that disk is cheaper than time or cpu usage, so it hasn't
been possible to do this easily.
If you dig through the archives tracking moves has been discussed.
As for other products and rdiff-backup maintainership, its working
for me just fine. We intend to use it until we run into something
that requires fixing.
If there is a body of work that needs to be done to get it up to
some modern standard (say Python3) I'm happy to consider
sponsoring it even.
thanks
Dave
