0.9.0 Much Faster!

  Ben,

  when I  run something like this:



rdiff-backup --force  --exclude-device-files --include=/home2/*/folder1 --ex
clude=/ / userid@1.2.3.4::/myback

  then it will DELETE   /myback  folder .

  When I run this:

  rdiff-backup --force  --exclude-device-files --include=/home2  --exclude=/
/ userid@1.2.3.4::/myback

  then it works fine..(I think)...

  Would you, please, notify me, if you will find out, what the problem is
and what the solution is, so I can go and continue testing?

  Thanks,

        Vlastik
