[rdiff-backup-users] bug/crash on read-only file in incremental backup

[Philip Warner]

Hi,

On windows, I get the following crash when doing an incremental on a
file that is read-only, but which has been updated.

Googling produced the only other reference:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/rdiff-backup-users/2008-11/msg00011.html

which went unanswered.

Any suggestions?
