Details:
Backing up directories whose paths contain double colons doesn't seem to
work, even when escaping the colons as described in the man page. Here's a
simple test case on Linux, in the bash shell:
# mkdir "foo::bar"
# mkdir "foo::bar/dir"
# echo "hi" > "foo::bar/dir/foo.txt"
# rdiff-backup "foo\::bar/dir" "foo\::bar/backup"
Fatal Error: Unable to create directory foo\::bar/backup
# rdiff-backup "foo\::bar/dir" "foo\::backup"
Fatal Error: Source directory foo\::bar/dir does not exist
# ls
foo\::backup foo::bar
Looks like rdiff-backup is not treating \: as an escaped colon, but rather as
a literal slash-then-colon. Of course, using a double colon without escaping
doesn't work either, as rdiff-backup tries to treat the text before the colons
as a host.
