[Borgbackup] Issues understanding prune 'keep' rules

[Dan Christensen]

Presumably you have backups more recent than those in July, and the more
recent ones are "using up" the keep rules.  If you want help, you'll
need to post a list of all recent archives up to the ones that you don't
understand, and the exact borg command that you used.
