Save backup files with extension .pacsave.n
Teach pacman to save backup files with extension .pacsave.n, where n is a
positive integer. The current backup file shall be saved as <name>.pacsave,
while existing .pacsave.n files will be renamed to <name>.pacsave.n+1
Example:
1. You have subversion installed in your local repo. /etc/conf.d/svnserve
is a file to be backed up. It contains local modifications
2. You remove subversion from your repo. /etc/conf.d/svnserve is backed up as
/etc/conf.d/svnserve.pacsave
2. You install subversion again
3. You edit /etc/conf.d/svnserve
4. You remove subversion. The existing /etc/conf.d/svnserve.pacsave is renamed
to /etc/conf.d/svnserve.pacsave.1 and /etc/conf.d/svnserve is backed up as
/etc/conf.d/svnserve.pacsave
