I have problems when i try to restore files with strange names. Backup
shows no problems.
...
The files has special hungarian characters in their names. We use a
samba file server. These files are put there via samba.
...
Sending back exception (('shares', 'homes', 'kkocsis', 'kkocsis'),
('shares', 'homes', 'kkocsis', 'kkocsis', 'CHIP', '\xa0raj\xa0nlat
k\x82r\x82s Pauker.doc')) of type exceptions.AssertionError:

Hi, it's possible that there was another problem and the special
character stuff was just a red herring. Try version 0.12.7 and see if
that helps.

I tried version 0.12.7 And it helped! Thanks for the tip!

PS. It would be still nice if there were a command line switch where i can
specify where rdiff-backup puts its temp file. (instead of /temp )

I was in the process of adding this when I realized that important
temp dir is on the destination side, but that in theory a user could
specify two different temp dirs, one for the source and one for the
destination.

Anyway I think this is a tricky option, and want to avoid
responsibility for any confusions. So just use the TMPDIR environment
variable; that's probably good enough.
