Obnam already doesn't restoring things in place. It only allows
restoring to an empty directory, or a directory that doesn't exist and
Obnam creates. For anything else you'll need to use "obnam mount" and
cp, rsync, or some other standard file copying tool.

Round-tripping can have a design elegance, but I'd really like to have
a real use case for why it should be implemented.
