Fixed bug where, for non-root users, rdiff-backup could, in the process of mirroring an unwritable directory, make the copy unwriteable and then fail. Now rdiff-backup goes through and makes what it needs to be readable and writeable, and then changes things back at the end. (Another one found by Jeb Campbell!)
0.2.5
Added better error reporting when server throws an exception.
Fixed bug so that backed-up setuid files will also be setuid.
Now rdiff-backup thinks it's running as root only if both client and server are running as root (Thanks to Jeb Campbell for finding these previous two bugs).
Fixed miscellaneous Path bug that could occur in remote operation.
0.2.4
Added more logging options that may help other track down a mysterious bug.
0.2.3
Fixed typing bug that caused an Assertion Error in remote operation, thanks again to Jeb Campbell for finding it.
0.2.2
Fixed bug in remote creation of special files and symlinks (thanks to Jeb Campbell link:mailto:jebcc4solutions.net[jebcc4solutions.net] for finding it).
Fixed another error report.
0.2.1
Now if rdiff-backup isn't running as root, it doesn't try to change file ownership.
Fixed an error report.
Stopped flushing an open pipe to fix a race condition on IRIX.
