Just spent an hour unsuccessfully testing rdiff-backup with an obvious and 
EXTREMELY simple task...

Create a text file. Save it. Run rdiff-backup. Modify the text file. Save it. 
Run rdiff-backup. Look at the two versions with a text editor.



I used the --no-compression argument, but can't seem to find a way to avoid the 
the restoration process of the .diff version files, and just keep the versioned 
text files as text files!

Am i missing somenthing, or do i have to go through a restore process to to 
even take a peek at the text in two versions of a text file?



many thanks for all the work put in on the rdiff-backup project!
Jeff
