I glanced at the source code, and it appears pretty trivial (a change to
options.c and a change to backup.c) to implement a user-selected backup
script. All it appears to involve is adding an option to the command
line and an extra if statement in backup.c
I might give it a shot in my ample

How well does CVS deal with binary files? What would the change log look
like for a JPG that has been updated o
The little bit I know of CVS, it's overkill for what I need. CVS keeps
a revision history, authors, etc.
All I need is for something (maybe an external archive script to rsync?)
to:
delete the oldest backup
rotate the remaining backups
create the new backup with a .1
Maybe the solution is a --b
Sounds like you want rsync to be CVS, or maybe CVS to have an rsync module.
How about rsync then run a script to do a cvs commit?

You definitely want to handle the revisions in the same way as logrotate: keep a
certain depth, delete the oldest, and renumber all the older ones.

Sorry is this is a repeat, but there is no search option (that I can find)
on the list server.

is changed for it to (with out any of the file merge stuff going) just push
the earler backups down a counting number and dr
