How could I automate the differential backup so it does it automatically from
the last revision as opposed to having to remember and enter it manually?
Just wanting to see if there's any way to do it already, either from
Subclipse or Ant or something...if not, maybe a custom command-line script
could do it?
I ask b/c it'd be really nice to hit a button every day or week that
differentially backs up your repository, either from the filesystem or using
the command line as you've described...no hassle.
(I'd like to use the hard-link backup script you linked to, but I'm on a
Windows dev environment.)
