+Enhancement: Improve handling of directories with duplicate entries
+
+If for some reason a directory contains a duplicate entry, this caused the
+backup command to fail with a `node "path/to/file" already present` or `nodes
+are not ordered got "path/to/file", last "path/to/file"` error.
+
+The error handling has been changed to only report a warning in this case. Make
+sure to check that the filesystem in question is not damaged!
