I'm only changing the .prev_max -> .0 rotation message, so there should
only be a difference for the first daily.0 when there isn't a hourly.5 
yet (using the HOWTO instructions), and if applicable the first weekly.0
and the first monthly.0.

I'm changing rsnapshot to issue a message (not warning) at level 3,
so it would show up in the log file or with rsnapshot -v (or -t).

For rotations of the middle or oldest of an interval, missing backups
continue to just generate a message at level 4 (seen with -V).
