+
+Right. So this has been asked for a few times, and while I'm generally
+not happy about the complexity it will introduce, I could be willing
+to add it, since there's enough reasonable use cases for it, it seems.
+
+The way I'd implement this is to have a hook that a plugin can use to
+change the path that gets put into the repository. In other words,
+Obnam would then work like this:
+
+ scan the filesystem, looking for paths for files to back up
+ for each file, mangle the path via a hook
+ use the mangled path to check if the file is in the repository
+ already, and if not, put it into the repository using the
+ mangled path
+ obviously, use the unmangled path to access the live data file
+
+A plugin would the attach itself to the hook, and mangle the path
+based on configuration from the user. At its core, the plugin would do
+this:
+
+ def mangle_path(pathname):
+ if pathname.startswith(self.strip_dirs):
+ pathname =3D pathname[len(self.strip_dirs):]
+ return pathname
+
+I've skipped one or two or a hundred details above, of course. Such as
+tests (unit and integration ones).
+
+I don't see a need to do the reverse hook for restoring.
+
+I've not done any coding for this. It should be a fairly simple task
+for someone who knows Python, except for the part of learning enough
+Obnam internals and test scaffolding to do a decent job.
+
+(Sometimes I think I should arrange a workshop for those who want to
+get familiar with Obnam internals. Alas, there's no funding.)
+

+
+This would similarly be a hook that mangles the metadata of the file.
+
+ obnam reads metadata from live data
+ obnam calls a hook to mangle the metadata
+ obnam stores mangled metadata
+
+I'd do this as a generic metadata mangling hook rather than
+specifically for timestamps.
+
+In addition to file metadata, there could be another hook for faking
+the generation timestamps, except that kinda already exists. The
+--pretend-time setting is there for testing purposes, but it could be
+used for setting the generation timestamps.
