It seems that the manpage is updated already (checked version 4.0.2 and
4.2.1), but still not completely correct.
Version numbered files are cycled. Version file.2 is moved to version
file.3, version file.1 is
moved to version file.2, and so on. Finally version file.0 is moved to
version file.1, and version
file is deleted. Both compressed names and uncompressed names are cycled,
regardless of -l. Miss‐
ing version files are ignored.
I would say:
Version numbered files are cycled. Version file.cycle is deleted.
Version file.cycle-1 is moved to
version file.cycle, version file.cycle-2 is moved to version file.cycle-1,
and so on. Finally version file.0 is
moved to version file.1. Both compressed names and uncompressed names are
cycled, regardless of -l.
Missing version files are ignored.
Any comments? If not, I'll create a patch and see to get it updated.
