Re: [BackupPC-devel] Git updates (tag renaming and rsync-bpc based on rsync 3.1.2)

Alexander,

Hmmm, good points.  However, the move to github was only about a year ago
and I doubt many packages have been released based on github releases since
then.

So while there might be a little bit of pain from the changes, no one has
complained (yet).
