[Duplicity-talk] Oddity using --include-globbing-filelist

[Norman Goldstein]

In my globbing filelist file, I have the line

+ /home/save/systems/Duplicity/Test/src/dirA

I have noticed a couple of things:

1. If there is a space at the end of the line,
the specified folder is not matched.  However,
duplicity is silent.

2. If I put a bogus folder name, instead of one
that actually exists, duplicity complains that
the folder does not exist.

So, it seems that duplicity is doing two passes
of the lines in the globbing filelist file.  The
first pass vets the file names, ignoring trailing
white space.  However, the 2nd pass, which actually
uses the file names, includes the trailing white
space, and does not complain if the resulting
file does not exist.

I can attach the example, it you would find it useful.

Thank you.
