Problem to solve
Gitaly introduced server-side incremental backups in gitaly!6475 (merged) but those were never documented in the manual.
Further details
Mostly affects Sidney on self-hosted instances.
Proposal
Expand the server-side backup documentation, server-side backup howto, and incremental backup howto.
Who can address the issue
Again, I guess the Gitaly folks would be the best to answer this. Considering he literally wrote the book on backups, I guess that @proglottis would be a good bet, but they also seem very busy so maybe some technical writer would be more appropriate. Not sure.
Other links/references
This is similar, but orthogonal, to #435265, in that the question of retention is separate of whether or not you can make incrementals with server-side at all. It would still be nice to have the answer to both of those in one swoop of course.
It's a specific subset of gitaly#5691 (closed) that might be easier to complete than "document this entire thing".
