Backup Central

I was having problems trying to figure out a good way to make
rdiff-backup work with my existing rsync file lists, but rdiff backup
wants the full path while rsync lets you leave off the prefix you
specify as the source. While playing around with this I stumbled across
the --include-globbing-filelist-stdin which allowed me to pull this off
without having to write a filelist to disk. I'm just sort of curious if
there is a specific reason this option is not documented. I'm using 1.0.3.

Thanks!

No reason that I know of. I just fixed up the man page.
