  Log:
  Add a new option -H <path> to cpdup.  This option allows cpdup to be used
  to create incremental backups.
  
  cpdup operates per normal.  However, if the -H option is specified with a
  path to some prior (read-only) backup of the source tree, cpdup will
  check whether the file in the source tree matches ethe file in the
  prior backup and if it does it will create a hardlink from the prior backup
  to the target tree instead of copying the file.
  
  Warning: due to the way cpdup handles hardlinks, it must record the file
  paths for all hardlinks it encounters while it is traversing the directory
  tree.  If copying a very large tree with lots (e.g. millions) of files it
  is possible to run the process out of memory.
