  the final stage of the restore process.

Patch release fixing a regression, instrumenting backups and other minor changes.

Changes the cluster restore behaviour a bit since it doesn't restore the cluster configuration (cluster.conf) any more.
Backup restores to the same cluster are not affected.
Backup restores from a single VM to a cluster (i.e. migrating from a single
GitHub Enterprise VM to a cluster using backup-utils) are also unaffected.

Includes general improvements, bug fixes, and support for GitHub Enterprise v2.4. This upgrade is recommended for all currently supported GitHub Enterprise versions.

• Moves the in-progress detection to a separate file with PID which is removed if the process is no longer running after the backup. #145, #99
• Updates the README to explain why backup-utils is useful even if you have the high availability replica running. #140
• Changes the use of the --link-dest option to only occur when backing up populated directories. #138
• Adds logging to /var/log/syslog on the remote GitHub Enterprise appliance to both ghe-backup and ghe-restore. #131

• Add devscripts to Debian's build-depends for checkbashisms. #101
• Documents the -c option which forces the restoration of the configuration information to an already configured appliance. #96

Includes general improvements, bug fixes, and support for GitHub Enterprise v2.2. This upgrade is recommended for all currently supported GitHub Enterprise versions and is required to backup/restore GitHub Enterprise v2.2 (or greater) instances.

• Adds support for the new repositories filesystem layout include in GitHub Enterprise v2.2. #122, #124
• ghe-restore now performs a config run on the instance after an incremental restore to 11.10.x and 2.x instances. #100
• ghe-restore now fails fast when run against a GHE instance with replication enabled. Replication should be disabled during a restore and then setup after the restore completes. #121

• ghe-restore now requires that an already-configured appliance be put into maintenance mode manually. This is a safeguard against accidentally overwriting data on the wrong instance. #62, #84
• ghe-backup and ghe-restore now run a ghe-negotiate-version program on the appliance to determine whether the backup-utils and GHE versions are compatible. #91
• Various portability fixes for problems surfaced when running on Solaris and FreeBSD. #86, #87
