[rdiff-backup-users] Resuming initial backups

I have clients that back up large data sets over the internet. The initial backup is always difficult, since rdiff-backup does not handle it well when the initial backup fails. If it fails, subsequent backups display an error saying that the initial backup probably failed, and it should be removed.

My question is this: couldn't rdiff-backup detect this and handle it automatically? I've added code to my private branch that checks if there is no current mirror and one or fewer error_log and mirror_metadata files. If so, it removes them and runs normally. Does this seem like a reasonable way to handle it? If so, I'd be happy to submit a patch implementing it.

Thanks,
JoshN
