This a development version, so 0.12.4 users need not upgrade.  Of
course I would welcome if anyone did so and gave me feedback on any of
the new features.

>From the changelog:

New in v0.13.2 (2003/09/16)
---------------------------

Change ownership policy and added --user-mapping-file and
--group-mapping-file switches.  See man page for more information.

Added option --never-drop-acls to cause fatal error instead of
dropping any acls or acl entries.  Thanks to Greg Freemyer for
suggestion.

Specified socket type as SOCK_STREAM.  (Error reported by Erik
Forsberg.)

Fixed bug backing up unreadable regular files and directories when
rdiff-backup is run by root on the source site and non-root on the
destination side.  (Reported by Troels Arvin and Arkadiusz
Miskiewicz.)

If there is data missing from the destination dir (for instance if a
user mistakenly deletes it), only warn when restoring, instead of
exiting with error.

Fixed bug in EA/ACL restoring, noticed by Greg Freemyer.

Updated quoting of filenames and extended attributes names to match
forthcoming attr/facl utilities.  Strange characters should now be
properly escaped.

Fixed problems with --restrict options that would cause proper
sessions to fail.  Thanks to Randall Nortman for error report.

Added new time specification by backup number.  So now you can
'--remove-older-than 2B' or '--list-at-time 0B'.  Original suggestion
by Alan Bailward.

File examples.html added to distribution; examples section removed
from man page.

Removed option --no-change-dir-inc-perms.  Instead when copying
permissions to directory increments, mask with 0777.
