Log Message:
Update to 0.26:

This release doesn't include anything as significant as the metadata
support added in 0.25, but it has quite a few bug fixes and internal
improvements, in addition to these notable changes:

  - When --meta is specified to the fuse command, instead of generic
    data, the originally saved mode, uid, git, atime, mtime, and ctime
    will be reported for the archive paths.

  - When --browser is specified to the web command, a browser window
    will be opened for the repository.

  - The -x/--xdev/--one-filesystem options now include the mountpoint
    itself in the traversal (matching rsyc, tar, etc.).

  - Empty lines in --exclude-rx-from files will be ignored.
    Previously they would cause all paths to be excluded.

  - The index and restore commands now support --exclude-rx-from.

  - Relative filesystem --excludes like "--exclude bar" should now
    work.  Previously --excludes had to be absolute.

  - The drecurse command now supports --exclude-rx and
    --exclude-rx-from.

  - The --compress option should now work for remote repositories.

  - Streams saved via "bup split" will now show up as a single file
    named "data" at the top level of the VFS, instead of as a subtree
    (i.e. when examined via ftp, ls, and fuse).

  - The ls command now supports -n, -A, -F, --file-type,
    --numeric-ids, and detailed -l options.

  - The save dates are now taken from the corresponding git commit's
    author date, not the committer date.

  - The tornado server, required by the web command, is no longer
    included.  See the README for installation instructions.

Note that the metadata support is still somewhat immature.  For
example, we still need to add better support for cross-filesystem-type
save/restore (which is too noisy), etc.

Please give this release a try and let us know what's broken.  If
you're new to bup, start with the README (and then HACKING if you'd
like to help further):

  https://github.com/bup/bup/blob/master/README.md

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/rlb/bup.git;a=blob;f=HACKING;hb=refs/heads/master

And although I probably sound like a broken record -- while we expect
bup to work fairly well, I still don't recommend it as your sole
backup strategy.  I'd still suggest a periodic
tar/rsync/etc. backstop.
