A blast from the past... :)

I'm finally playing around a bit with branches, and have a question:


    Daily backups can use these lines in /etc/dirvish/master.conf:

    Runall:
       ...     
       tomusr   03:00
       ...
       rh9usr   03:00
       ...


This will give a message "cannot open config file: default.conf"
as dirvish will try to open a rh9usr/dirvish/default.conf file,
but there are only "dick.conf" and "jane.conf" there.
Or am I missing something?

I need to specify in the Runall:

        rh9usr:dick     03:00
        rh9usr:jane     03:00

i.e. explicitly list the branches.

It would be great if that were not necessary, BTW...
Perhaps indicate to dirvish that all branches need to be backupped by
specifying "rh9usr:*" .


Also the following phrase is a bit confusing:

    The two vaults contain three per-vault dirvish configuration files
    for the different /usr partitions ...

After my first quick reading I thought 2 x 3 = 6 configuration files
total were needed.... Perhaps the "per-vault" could be deleted.
