[nfr] Add an --include option

I'm using `bup` and want to switch to `bup-cron` for obvious reasons. I don't backup firefox because it seems like unecessary churn from history & state-saving (firefox crash recovery), plus...

I haven't verified this by testing, but the lrucache code looks a bit broken. Possible fix is in my lrucache branch - see e3f671c. I based it on my PR...

Optimization: asynchronous writeback

fsync() after each segment write is suboptimal :). It means you stop (cpu) processing to wait for the physical disk write. And the default segment size is 5MB. (I noticed...

repository: two minor improvements

[RHBZ#1374427](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1374427) equally affects `mkosi`. `mkosi` was written, in part, for testing modifications to systemd. But this issue means systemd's HACKING instructions do not work, on a default Fedora install. `mkosi`...

Q: seccomp_syscall_resolve_name_arch(...) is confusing, docs arguably wrong
