Ok, I'll take a stab at rewriting it. My perl is worse than your
python but I think I can handle it.
I checked in the first version into CVS, see:

Hi Ben and all,
How do you think rdiff-backup should be improved?
I voted in the poll, thanks. However, a few things have come to mind

Hi Dean,
why wouldn't you just spawn the rdiff-backup program? otherwise you'd
be dependent on the internal apis remaining stable... which doesn't seem
like a good choice for your gui or for rdiff-backup development...
Well, I'm assuming that sooner or later rdiff-backup will have some kind

anywhere. What version are you using?

Hi Ben,
I actually consider this a feature. Since rdiff-backup only makes one
pass, it saves time making an extra pass through the directory tree.
Also, it doesn't need to fit the entire directory list in memory at
the same time (this is a common complaint against rsync). Finally, it
