Better parent support #493

@aawsome

Description

@aawsome

rustic currently chooses the latest snapshot with identical host and path(s) (as used by the backup command) as parent.

This can be improved:

  • include snapshots which have "super-paths", like allow /home,/usr as parent for /home or allow /home as parent for /home/bob.
  • include sub-paths if there is no other parent candidate or if these are younger than other snapshots. This might imply to use multiple snapshots as parent, though.
