Mostly minor bugfixes for this one:

New in v0.11.0 (2002/10/05)
---------------------------

If get a socket error from trying to create a socket whose name is too
long, just skip file instead of exiting with error (bug report by Ivo
De Decker).

Added --exclude-special-files switch, which excludes fifos, symlinks,
sockets, and device files.

--windows-mode is now short for --windows-time-format --chars-to-quote
A-Z: --no-hard-links --exclude-special-files.  Thanks to Paul-Erik
Törrönen for some helpful windows info.

Multiple --include and --exclude statements can now be given in a
single file.  See the documentation on
--{include|exclude}-globbing-filelist.  Thanks to Henrik Lewander for
pointing out that command line length could otherwise be a problem.

Fixed bug in filelist processing that ignored leading or trailing
whitespace in filelists.  Now filenames with, for instance, trailing
spaces can be used in filelists.  Filelists which took advantage of
this bug for formatting may have to be editted.

Applied major/minor patch contributed by David S.  rdiff-backup should
now correctly copy device files on platforms such as NetBSD.

It is now possible to restore from a read-only filesystem (before
rdiff-backup would fail when trying to open log file).  Thanks to
Gregor Zattler for bug report.

Fixed bug that prevented certain restores when the source directory
was specified with a trailing backslash.

Added a bit more logging so it should be apparent which file was being
processed when an error occurs (thanks to Gerd Knops for suggestion).

Fixed bug when using --chars-to-quote and directory deleted that has
quoted characters in it.
