Re: [rdiff-backup-users] unusual warnings using 1.2.1

[John covici]

Well, here are some more strange things --this morning's backup did
not give the warning and at least by a name sort, I did not see any
duplicates in that directory.  I wonder if this has something to do
with the large number of files in some directory?

Now you know what I am doing Christmas morning -- Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to all.
