BackupPC 2.1.2 pl2 (patch level2) released

I just released a new patch for BackupPC 2.1.2.  This changes
the --devices rsync option to -D in config.pl to fix the
"fileListReceive failed" bug with recent rsync versions.

This patch includes the earlier fixes in the prior pl1 patch.

The patches can be applied to a fresh 2.1.2 release
by downloading the single file BackupPC-2.1.2pl2.diff
from http://backuppc.sourceforge.net and following the
instructions in that file.  BackupPC should then be
re-installed from the fresh, patched, release.

The patched version is reported as "2.1.2pl2".

I've attached the cumulative list of issues fixed in the
patch.

ChangeLog:

 - In conf/config.pl, changed --devices to -D in $Conf{RsyncArgs}
   and $Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} to fix "fileListReceive failed" and
   "Can't open .../f%2f for empty output" errors with rsync 2.6.7+.
   Fix proposed by Justin Pessa and Vincent Ho, and confirmed by
   Dan Niles.

 - Added patch from Michael (mna.news) to ignore "file is unchanged"
   message from tar 1.15.x during incremental backups.

 - Fixed creation of .rsrc directories in bin/BackupPC_tarExtract
   when used with xtar on MacOS.  Reported by Samuel Bancal and
   Matthew Radey, who helped with debugging.

 - Fixed bug in BackupPC_tarExtract for files >8GB in size whose
   lengths are multiples of 256.  Reported by Jamie Myers and
   Marko Tukiainen, who both helped debugging the problem.

 - Fixed bug in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/RsyncFileIO.pm that caused
   incorrected deleted attributes to be set in directories
   where one of the files had an rsync phase 1 retry during
   an incremental.  Reported by Tony Nelson.
