Details:

Just playing around with rdiff-backup, which looks very good, and is written
in a good language :) However I found a case that probably should give a nice
error message instead of this traceback. 

Delete an increment, then ask for it in a --r. Note that if I ask for a
revision much older (7B, I have not done seven backups) then there is no
error.

address@hidden restore]$ rdiff-backup --remove-older-than 2B
~/Archive/rdiff-backup/
Deleting increment at time:
Fri May  5 23:23:41 2006
address@hidden restore]$ rdiff-backup -r 3B --force  ~/Archive/rdiff-backup/
