I wasn't able to suit rsnapshot to my needs, and my sysadmin skills
basically suck (and I hate it). So I just wrote a small script to keep the
last N snapshots in a public directory:
http://lucy.pkh.me/ffmpeg-coverage-snapshots/. It should be enough to make
some quick diff. (The last coverage run and everything else are still
accessible from http://lucy.pkh.me/).

Ideally I should improve the script to make hardlinks when necessary, but
I'm not motivated right now (and I also don't care much since I have
storage).

BTW, sorry for the long delay, I was migrating to a new server again
because of issues with the previous servers.
