As for me, I want the ability to merge old increments, such that beyond a given point I can abandon daily increments and store only weekly increments; and beyond that only monthly. As the dataset I work with has frequent enough changes that the same regions will be modified multiple times during the course of a week, such combination will indeed decrease (in some cases nontrivially) the amount of data being archived.For the people that voted for repository editing, what did you want exactly?
Yes. I'm storing backups from potentially a very large number of remote systems, and space is very much a potential issue.Also more generally, why do you want to edit an existing repository? Is it to save disk space?
