- The prune command prunes a repository by deleting archives not matching any of
- the specified retention options. This command is normally used by automated
- backup scripts wanting to keep a certain number of historic backups. As an
- example, "-d 7" means to keep the latest backup on each day for 7 days. Days
- without backups do not count towards the total. The rules are applied from
- hourly to yearly, and backups selected by previous rules do not count towards
- those of later rules. Dates and times are interpreted in the local timezone,
- and weeks go from Monday to Sunday. Specifying a negative number of archives
- to keep means that there is no limit. If a prefix is set with -p, then only
- archives that start with the prefix are considered for deletion and only those
- archives count towards the totals specified by the rules.
