+ - 'bup save' and 'bup restore' have immature metadata support.
  
-    That means we aren't saving file attributes, mtimes, ownership, hard
-    links, MacOS resource forks, etc.  Clearly this needs to be improved.
+    On the plus side, they actually do have support now, but it's new,

+    like to help test, please do; something like 'rsync -niaHAX src/
+    restore/' may be useful on that front.
+
+    In addition, at the moment, if any strip or graft-style options

+    the root directory.  That's obviously less than ideal.
 
  - 'bup index' is slower than it should be.
