Comment 1 Peter Rajnoha 2009-05-06 12:42:56 UTC 
This option is used in conjunction with the other options when making changes. Since autobackup option is not contained within metadata, we have to define this option for every change we make (default is "y"). It can't be defined globally for any future changes in a separate way, so this is not a bug. Maybe we should add a note to man so it's less confusing. "--autoconfig" was meant to be "--autobackup", I guess...
