[rdiff-backup-users] removing a single file from a backup

[martin f krafft]

During last night's backup of a machine, we accidentally included
a 700Gb file in the backup, which makes our backup machine creak.
We've since removed the file and in 60 days, it'll be gone from the
backup (we purge snapshots older than 60 days), but I was wondering
if it were possible to remove this file from all snapshots. If
I never want to restore it, could I just truncate it in the
rdiff-backup directory, ie. replace it with an empty file? Or would
that screw up rdiff-backup?
