[rdiff-backup-users] Maybe a better way to ask the previous question...

[Errol Siegel]

It occurred to me that perhaps there is a better way
to ask my question about reorganizing directory
structures:

Does rdiff-backup support moving a source file or
directory?

For example, with cvs you can't move a file.  You have
to do a 'remove' of the file from its original
location and an 'add' of the file to its new location.
 When you do this there is no way to link the revision
history of the old and new files (which are really the
same file in two different locations).

>From what I understand, rdiff-backup works the same
way.  Am I right?  If so, is there a way to work
around this by editing/moving rdiff-backup-data info
in the repository to match the new source directory
structure?

I wouldn't mind the 'remove and add in new location'
idea so much except the source files are really big
and I'm backing up over the internet.  It would be
nice to NOT lose the revision history too...

Does my question make more sense now?

Thanks again,
Errol
