Restore hangs

[William Wolf]

I believe this is a known bug.

When you do the brackup-target get file, it does not decrypt the  
metafile.  You will need to decrypt the file yourself using gpg -d  
file > decryptedfile.txt.

There have also been patches posted to this mailing list to fix, and I  
also have my own if you would be interested, that makes brackup  
decrypt metafiles when it downloads them.  These have not made it into  
the SVN yet as you can tell.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I've gathered by  
looking over the brackup code and this mailing list.
