But thanks a lot for the > suggestion. I'm curious what features of git you find helpful for this purpose. The history log doesn't seem useful at all. Generally mail is only added, and sometimes deleted, never changed, so it also does not seem useful to keep multiple revisions. If you really want that though, rdiff-backup will do that and keep the old revisions delta compressed. I use Maildir instead of mbox and do a nightly incremental backup of the whole system with dump, so any mail I might loose by accident I can pull from the backup if it is older than a day, and I never delete mail. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
