Time duration `1m`, `12m` etc. are not months (as the doc says)

[tlikonen]

The documentation is telling that m stands for months, for example 12m for 12 months. However to me it looks more like minutes.

In my repo with 12m:

rustic forget --dry-run --group-by '' --keep-within-weekly 12m
[...]
[INFO] would have removed 419 snapshots.

The same repo with 12month:

rustic forget --dry-run --group-by '' --keep-within-weekly 12month
[...]
[INFO] would have removed 365 snapshots.

Clearly 12m and 12month are different: the former removes 419 snapshots and the latter 365 snapshots.

@tlikonen Thanks for opening this issue!
In fact, this changed with 0.11.0, see https://rustic.cli.rs/docs/breaking_changes.html.
So, it is not a rustic issue but a documentation issue ;-)

Thanks. It is good to know that this is not a logic bug in program's code. I got really scared that I can't even trust forget --keep-* to do the right thing. It seems I still can.

The docu is fixed via rustic-rs/docs#141 . I'll close this issue
