I released new versions of both branches because of the serious
symlink bug recently fixed.  Here are the relevant bits of both
changelogs:

New in v0.12.8 (2005/04/07)
---------------------------

Dean Gaudet's patch fixes "--restrict /" option.

Added Maximilian Mehnert's fix for too many open files bug.

Added fix for listing/restoring certain bad archives made when there
was a timezone bug.  (Thanks to Stephen Isard)

Fixed timezone bug.  Hopefully this is the last one.  (Thanks to
Randall Nortman for bug report.)

************** Serious bug fix ******************
If a directory in the source directory was replaced by certain
symlinks, then if later backups failed they could cause files in the
directory that the symlink pointed to to be deleted!  Much thanks to
Alistair Popple for pointing this bug out and providing a test case.
