Also on the web page at

http://www.stanford.edu/~bescoto/rdiff-backup/compress-rdiff-backup-increments

is a script which you can run on your pre-0.7.1 destination directory
to compress the increments.  It saved me a couple GB out of a 10GB
mirror directory, but YMMV of course.


New in v0.7.1 (2002/03/25)
--------------------------

Now by default .snapshot and .diff increments are compressed with
python's internal gzip.  The new increments format is backwards
compatible, but only rdiff-backup >0.7.1 will be able to restore if
any gzipped increments are present.

Added --no-compression and --no-compression-regexp to control which
files are compressed.
