Here are the last of the patches to make rdiff-backup run on Windows.
The rpath.py changes are pretty simple: you can't set modified time for
directories on Windows, as documented in the Python docs. Also, Windows
doesn't have a getuid() function, so assume that the current user is
owner of (or can at least access) each file.
The rdiff-backup-ids.patch changes handle Window's lack of grp or pwd
modules. They simply return None, which was already being done in some
cases. Again, we may want to handle this better at some point in the
future, but for now most Windows users don't care about permissions or
access rights, so getting something that works is first priority.
Your feedback is welcome,
