It aims to become a complete backup/restore = tool for all files in a directory tree or whole filesystems, with a = subversion repository as the backend. You may think of it as some kind of tar or rsync with versioned storage. ----- Excerpt ends The new release got some bugs fixed; it's notable points are - testing framework extended with new tests. You'll need rsync 2.6.7 to complete the tests successfull, though. - update and commit now write MD5 checksums for blocks of variable size, to accelerate checking for changed files (note: only applies if size equal to expected value, but timestamp changed). In the future I'd hope to send only changed data into the repository, using that mechanism. - export command added for easier recovery of files/directories. - can optionally checksum *all* files, not only changed (virus checking) - a small compatibility fix (subversion uses "link " for symlinks, fsvs used "link:") - a few small performance updates. I know that I'm missing a 1.0.4 release, but that was already taken for another snapshot (which wasn't released); it doesn't cause me headaches. Do not hesitate to contact me for questions and problems.
