No, but I had to write a script to delete logs from the backed-up
directories. If hot-backup.py does its job, then my "toss-logs.sh" would
have no work to do.

I just ran the script again, and it tossed logs from some of the recent
commits. IOW, it appears that hot-backup still doesn't seem to quite be
getting rid of logs properly.

I also went into the svn repository and removed a bunch of old logs in that
directory, too. At least we don't have to copy 20 logs each time, just to
delete them :-)

In all, I cleared up 15 gig of disk space :-)
