Description (last modified by amontero)

When I do [scripted] backups to my grid, I would like to collect the resulting backup root URI to a file. I've added a "--printcap" option to "tahoe backup" to do it and works good, so far.

Off by default for backwards compatibility. Comes to mind someone using "tahoe backup" from a script piping the output to a file and mailing it. Other than this, looks like an trivial addition.

Code is at: ​https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/76

Also you can accomplish David Sarah's case at ticket:835#10 with this one-liner: 

$ tahoe backup --ignore-timestamps --printcap ~/Documents/ `tahoe mkdir`

The mkdir'ed directory URI is completely ignored, we will just keep the --printcap'ed URI as the *immutable* backup root.
