Interesting.  I really like the dirvish-locate command.  To do that
using rsnapshot, you have to do it manually and that can be a chore.
Here's an example from their FAQ:

# dirvish-locate home '/jw/.muttrc'
 2 matches in 29 images
 /e/home/jw/.muttrc

But I'm not clear on what the numbers after the date mean.  Are those
the indexes?  Is it based on a date or what?  I'm wondering how hard
it would be to do something similar for rsnapshot.

Eric, would you be willing to give a short presentation, a "cool
tools" talk on dirvish?
