Peter,
This feature already exists in rdiff-backup. From the 'Time Formats'
section of the man page:

6.  A  backup  session  specification  which is a non-negative integer
followed by 'B'.  For
     instance, '0B' specifies the time of the current mirror, and '3B'
specifies the time  of
     the 3rd newest increment.
