Spoke too soon ... I believe I've fixed --override-chars-to-quote to  
work again. Instead of releasing a 1.2.6 so quickly, I'll explain how  
to get the fix.

All you need to do is replace your fs_abilities.py file with this one:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/rdiff-backup/rdiff_backup/fs_abilities.py?revision=1.61.2.1&root=rdiff-backup


When I added the functionality last fall to automatically-requote a  
repository, I didn't notice that one of the functions had a subtle  
return condition.
