fixed 509198 1.2.3

thanks
Hi Jan,
This bug is fixed in rdiff-backup and will be part of the next
release, 1.2.3, which will be released soon. The bug was fixed on
November 9th, sorry for the delay between releases.
The bug occurs in 1.2.2 because that version included support for
extended attributes on symbolic links, library support for which has
matured of late on Linux and Mac OS X.
Regarding your comment " Warnings start appearing ... for directories
that are NOT in the
include list": That happens because rdiff-backup currently reads
information about each file, including excluded ones precisely because
it may be excluded or included based on the file's metadata (and thus
it is necessary to read it). In this case, reading the extended
attributes on the broken symbolic link became a problem.
best,
Andrew
