consider merging with others

restic has a similar project, called [fakedatafs](https://github.com/restic/fakedatafs), with similar goals. fakedatafs works as a FUSE filesystem to provide a dataset to benchmark backup software.

obnam has its own tool to generate backup data called... [genbackupdata](http://liw.fi/genbackupdata/). the design is similar to borg's, but like fakedatafs, it is also deterministic.

i was wondering if any thought has been given to reviewing or even merging with those projects instead of maintaining (now at least) 3 different projects in parallel?

if we want a standardized test suite for backup software, it seems to me we should aim at standardizing the corpus generation as well! :)
