Restore deleted directories may fail (Trac #16)

[boxbackup-bot]

Paul MacKenzie nospam@elehost.com reports that restoring a deleted directory, or a directory full of deleted files, may not restore the files within, if run with the "-d" option.

Test restores of deleted directories, and directories with deleted files, with and without -d, on Windows.

Still exists in R2549:

$ boxbackup/bbackupquery.exe -c config/bbackupd.conf
Unable to send message to Event Log (Event Log is full):

Type "help" for a list of commands.

query > ls  -t
00000144 -d---- 1970-01-01T01:00:00 CASES

query > restore CASES d:\restore\
.............................................................................

query > restore -d CASES d:\restore\

d:\restore gets created in the second case, but no data is contained in that directory.

However, I am not sure what the "-d" option actually adds, since a regular restore (without -d) works just fine.
