dar bug when root path starts with a dot like in "-R ./here"

Hi all,

Just to let you know that releases 2.4.0 up to 2.4.22 and 2.5.0 up to
2.5.6 are subject to a bug when the path given to -R option starts by
a dot: the filtering mechanism then becomes broken (-g, -P, -[ and -]
options).

example of condition to trigger this bug: -R ./this/place -g foo/bar
while the following is not subject to bug: -R this/place -g foo/bar

The consequence are:
- - when -g or -[ option are used, no file get considered for the
operation (for example restored).
- - without -g nor -[ if -P or -] is given, no file get excluded from
operation

This may lead your backup not to contain all the expected data you
would like to rely on in case of necessity. This may also lead dar not
to restore files as expected.

this bug is fixed in GIT
(commit e46fb0e7bec4313635744531f52490bc983e73e2)
and will be included in next minor releases 2.4.23 and 2.5.7 in a few
weeks.

in the meanwhile the workaround is to use the following syntax "-R
this/place" instead of "-R ./this/place"

Thanks to Jim Avera for bug report and clear scenario to describe and
reproduce this bug.

Regards,
Denis
