Bug#676867: dconf-tools: Allow dump of non-default files

[Matijs van Zuijlen]

Package: dconf-tools
Version: 0.12.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dconf uses the file ~/.config/dconf/user to store its data. This data is
not human readable, so the dconf system is the only way to interact with it.
Therefore, it is impossible to retrieve old settings from backups, short
of completely replacing the current file.

An option to specify the file to use to the dconf command, at least for
the 'dump' option, would be very welcome.
