      because we're not escaping the args to that final rm command! This means we gradually fill
      up /tmp, especially on machines that are infrequently rebooted (e.g. calculon)

      Add two new specialised prepare scripts · 111db7bb
      Dr Catherine Pitt authored
      prepare-olddebian : does not do package file excludes
      prepare-database: does not do package file excludes or dump databases
      
      These are for use on machines where we can no longer reinstate them by
      quickly and easily installing a new VM from the network and then
      layering the backup on top, usually because the OS is obsolete.

      Logging enhancements and prepare-nondebian tweak · bd5e7e8d
      Dr Catherine Pitt authored
      Split logs for tasks with same target machine but different target filesystems into
      different logfiles for easier debugging.
      
      prepare-nondebian script creates a fake excludes file for the machine now if
      one doesn't exist, because I keep forgetting to do it myself for Redhat
      machines and then the zfs-rsync script fails.
