I found this comment in the hot-backup.py file:

# If there is already a backup of this revision, then append the
# next highest increment to the path. We still need to do a backup
# because the repository might have changed despite no new revision
# having been created. We find the highest increment and add one
# rather than start from 1 and increment because the starting
# increments may have already been removed due to num_backups.

How can the repository change without the revision number increasing?
Are the changes important enough to have to create a new backup? It
would be great if this comment went into more detail.
