[Dirvish] dirvish-expire usage Q

[Petcher, Daniel]

My daily backups use dirvish-expire to clean-out old data, but my weekly
backup isn't so well-organized.

I've got two golden ancient backups that I wish to retain forever.
 
Right now, I launch my weekly backup manually after having cleared space on
my dirvish vault with a
rm -r /backup/vault/%y%m%d/
to get rid of the oldest non-golden backup snapshot. I don't want to put
these ancient backups outside the dirvish vault, because there are several
GB of data that never change.

It just occurred to me that my index file is growing every week while I'm
doing nothing to flush its garbage.
 
Is there a way with dirvish-expire to clean-out old snapshots while
retaining the certain golden snapshots I want?
