A warning message is printed, which the user must have disregarded, or
was not displayed by a GUI (was Keep used?). The warning message has
been present since the first version, and was improved in versions
0.12.7 and 0.13.4.
Rdiff-backup permits this because 1) it succeeds on some platforms (I
just confirmed this on Mac OS X) and 2) it may be that the underlying
filesystem is more sophisticated than rdiff-backup's tests indicate -- a
backup that appears circular based on the --include/exclude options and
pathnames, may in fact not be.
I am closing this bug as invalid.
** Changed in: rdiff-backup (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
