[rdiff-backup-users] Bug in statistics in rdiff-backup 1.2

[ahd71]

Hi,

I wonder why the start and end timestamp for session statistics not is taken 
from the *same* system to avoid "strange values" when the clocks not are in 
perfect sync.

Note that the 'end time' is 3min 18seconds BEFORE starttime (which was the 
difference between the two clocks in this case).
another interesting thing is that the 'elapsed time' shows this as 56min 
42seconds !!! (1h-3m18s=56m42s). 

I haven't noticed any problems with the function of rdiff-backup due to this 
problem. In this case I'm used rdiff-backup 1.2 from Windows and was sending 
the data to a linux server (with rdiff-backup 1.2). Depending on which system 
is ahead of the other the problem is more or less obvious.

I have recently discovered rdiff-backup and think it's great for my needs and 
now with the native windows executable i hope that it become even better and 
will be widely used! Eventually I will dive into the source code but maybe 
someone already know that this is a problem and perhaps why it's implemented 
this way.

Thanks / ahd71
