Package: rdiff-backup
Version: 0.13.4-3
"rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-only /tmp" permits backups of
/tmp/foo -- this is expected according to the docs.
"rdiff-backup --server --restrict-read-only /" does not permit backups of
any subdirectory -- this looks like an oversight, the docs imply it should
work. the patch below fixes this behaviour.
