Sure. Let me glance over it one more time (to make sure I'm not sending you
something bogus) and I'll send you a patch against the original hot-backup.py

There is more to a repository than just your data. Backing up the entire
repo also saves your hook scripts and any unversioned items you store
with the repo. For example, I have a log-changes directory in my repo
where changes to unversioned items (such as log entries) are stored.
I also have several helper scripts in my hooks directory that change
from time to time.
