Re: [rdiff-backup-users] manpage update

[roland]

Hello Dean,

i have reworked the manpage and created the requested patch.

Before applying , please re-check twice.

For example i'm unsure about "--remote-cmd".

I found an old manpage, where this param was inside.
seems it has been removed after being deprecated for a while.
but - if it`s like this, i wonder why it`s being left in the code.

This is being added to the manpage (merged in alphabetical order):

--carbonfile
Enable backup of MacOS X carbonfile information.

--no-acls
No Access Control Lists - disable backup of ACL`s

--no-carbonfile
Disable backup of MacOS X carbonfile information.

--no-eas
No Extended Attributes support - disable backup of EA`s

--override-chars-to-quote
If the filesystem to which we are backing up is not case-sensitive, 
automatic 'quoting' of characters occurs.  For  example,  a  file 
'Developer.doc'  will  be  converted into ';068eveloper.doc'. To override 
this behavior, you need to specify this option.

--remote-cmd
Deprecated. Please use --remote-schema instead

regards
roland
