It is the comment I made towards the end that mentioned about a file
not being backed up in a read-only directory.

I'm yet to find time to follow up if it is a real issue, or rather an
issue due to previous backup versions, failures, repairs, etc.

Also, I've been meaning to ask, previously (rdiff-backup 1.x) the
permissions of all the files in the repo seemed to match the source,
although I don't think it had to.  I know the actual permissions are
stored separately.

Is that the case in the current version, or are they just approximately
correct, i.e. things like read-only directories get write permission
added?
