FSVS 1.1.8

FSVS stands for "Fast System VerSioning", "File System VerSioning" or "Full System VerSioning".
You may think of it as some kind of tar or rsync with versioned storage.
A future capability will be to cope with local adjustments for different machines (using branching techniques), so that most of the space needed for the backup of system-files (/bin, /usr, ...) can be shared between machines.
Main features:
- initialize itself for operation (define target URL)
- commit to this URL (backup), with meta-data support (owner, group, mode, devices, symlinks)
- show the status, ie. which entries have changed, and what was changed (data or meta-data)
- update from this URL (restore), with meta-data support
- use advanced ignore patterns, eg. to ignore all virtual filesystems like /proc, /sys, /dev (if devfs), and so on. PCRE-expressions and recursive ignore patterns are possible, too.
- Re-Synchronize with the repository, ie. get list of files in repository, to commit all different files.
