hot-backup.py should do one thing: make a backup. It does that. If
it wants to remove useless log files in the backup, that's fine with
me. If we want to be extra-paranoid and keep them around, that's ok,
I'm -0. (We've already got multiple backups lying around.)

But we need a *separate* commit-hook script that cleans up logfiles in
the live repository., don't you think?
