I think your listing is missing some lines.  For instance there are no
current_mirror files listed.

Sorry, I thought it was in the FAQ but I just saw that mirror_metadata
point wasn't described.  But I've updated the entry, see:

http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/FAQ.html#regress_failure

What I should have done was just have an option to rdiff-backup for it
to do this automatically, but the idea was that regressing shouldn't
fail and no one would need to move the files around manually.
