Hi,
About a year ago I looked for a way to "compress" an rdiff-backup
archive, not by removing oldest entries, but by merging intermediate
entries. I thought about a very simple but tedious way of doing it using
the --current-time option.
I wrote a few lines of python to do this, it's a pretty hackish code,
but it works for me. What it does is checking out a selected set of
dates from the original backup repository, and rdiff-backup them in a
fresh one using the --current-time option to keep it right. If somebody
is interested I can publish it somewhere (but don't expect too much).
