Bernt,
That's amazing!
Much more complex, and I really liked the idea of tracking every
directory that has important files (including configuration files).
Thank you for sharing.
As for deleting files, I just rm -rf when I need to, so the next
commit -a will catch it.
But yours is definitely a new (and I'd say better) backup paradigm. I
will definitely implement your ideas later, but right now I'm
satisfied (kind of) OK with OSX's Time Machine.
Cheers,
Marcelo.
