[rdiff-backup-users] "In Place Backup" same source and destination folder

[kurt witschi]

Dear List
I would like to "mis-use" rdiff-backup as a sort of "revisioned home dir".
My first trivial test with "rdiff-backup -b test/ test/" indicate that it 
should be possible to do "in place" backups, using the same folder as source 
and destination. I'm fully aware that this is not a backup but more of a 
history-keeper. Are there any dangers in doing this (e.g will this still work 
with 1000's of files and bigger files)? Is anybody else doing something 
similar, what are your experiences?
many thanks in advance for any feedback
kurt
