Re: [Bug-ddrescue] [patch] abort if output file name and log file name are the same.

Thanks for reporting this. I think it is a good idea.

Using the check_identical function already used to verify that input and 
output files are not the same may provide some extra protection if both 
files already exist. (See main.cc, lines 186-192).


Best regards,
Antonio.
