Am I right you want to do EXACTLY the same thing that is possible by using:
1. rdiff-backup
2. rdiff-backup-fs

?

If not, I have an issue for you - very limited description at project homepage 
that prevents me judging that I'm interested or not.

If you would like to do same as rdiff-backup but optimised in incremental data 
saving space algorithms using object specific techniques then this project is 
VERY interesting. If not, this is simple backup utility clone.

So, I would like an answer which should be at least descriptive about plans for 
the future if you want help developing such a thing.

Good points. I have added a FAQ page with some clarification: 
http://code.google.com/p/boar/wiki/FAQ

This issue tracker is not really the place for questions though, please use the 
mailing list in the future.

Hi,

Hmm, after rereading, rethinking all the thing I doubt that were good 
points :) I'm still not sure what possibly boar will do when I'll 
download it, but now I know that I should think of it more as a RCS.
I still don't get what the difference is between for example CVS and 
boar at the user level (because I know that technically speaking storage 
is different - here should be a short explanation of implemented 
features by examples too in the FAQ, I think).
I mean... you have a beta software and you claim it's good, better than 
CVS, Subversion, Mercurial and so on, for binary, fast, non-duplicate 
storage, But i still cannot force myself to have energy for testing boar 
without any clue how. It's easy to say, mine is better. But it is very 
hard to leave your current RCS (especially that you loose your history), 
so why bother testing?

Maybe I'm bubbling, maybe I'm whining, and maybe you should shout to me 
"Just try it!"... i don't really know :D
I have to sleep with boar idea few weeks or do the hard work comparing :/.

Nevertheless, keep up the good work trying to beat them up. I would like 
to have possibility some day to say "no, no other RCS than xxxx, it's 
best" and not to choose "this for x", "that for y" and so...

Right now I'm trying to stretch my hard drives so the problem is delayed ;)

Have a nice day

K.
