You could downgrade the local version to 0.13.4 (ie, Sarge's version),
but you will need to remove at least the rdiff-backup-data
director(y|ies) on the remote server. Using different versions of
rdiff-backup at each end WILL cause problems and will create an
(somewhat) unusable repository, hence the warning issued by rdiff-backup
when you try to do this. Been there, done that, have T-shirt, and have
spent a long time repairing the damage.
