The structure of this manual and some of the basic boilerplate has been taken from the book Version Control with Subversion. Many thanks to the authors (and O'Reilly) for making this excellent reference available under a free and open license.

There are not very many Cedar Backup users today, but almost all of them have contributed in some way to the documentation in this manual, either by asking questions, making suggestions or finding bugs. I'm glad to have them as users, and I hope that this new release meets their needs even better than the previous release.

My wife Julie puts up with a lot. It's sometimes not easy to live with someone who hacks on open source code in his free time — even when you're a pretty good engineer yourself, like she is. First, she managed to live with a dual-boot Debian and Windoze machine; then she managed to get used to IceWM rather than a prettier desktop; and eventually she even managed to cope with vim when she needed to. Now, even after all that, she has graciously volunteered to edit this manual. I much appreciate her skill with a red pen.
