Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may exist for a short time before cleaning up, in most cases it CANNOT be undone. Continue?
For testing/debugging, it might be interesting to support extracting a backup (both full & incremental) as a new independent archive file. For full backups, this would simply mean copying the file, but for incremental backups, this would mean restoring each backup in order into a new archive file.
I've implemented a system that can extract only the required parts out of each backup in a chain. This technique could also be used for #7.
