[Rdiff-backup-bugs] [bug #9636] UpdateError, although ignorable, makes rdiff-backup return a non-0 return code

[Rowan Rodrik van der Molen]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #9636 (project rdiff-backup):

I tried to point out that it was inconvenient for me that rdiff-backup
returns a non-zero value even for a trivial UpdateError which is hardly
avoidable.

Some log-files for example will almost always fail simply because there's no
practical way to make them stop growing while running rdiff-backup.

That's why I was trying to get you interested in a fictional
'--ignore-update-error' flag.

I hope I've made myself sufficiently clear now.

Oh, and sorry for my late response. We both seem to be slow responders ;-)
