[Borgbackup] borgbackup beta 1.1.0b5 released

I use

  borg create --exclude-from=filename

to exclude /run, /proc and /sys from my backups.  With 1.1.0b5, I get
errors like

/run/user/1000: stat: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/run/user/1000/gvfs'
/proc/29566/task/29566/fd: stat: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/29566/task/29566/fd/8'

I assume this is because of the changes related to recursively searching
an excluded subdirectory, but I had thought that that would only affect
efficiency, not cause borg to give errors and exit with an error code.

Two questions:

1) Can borg handle this more cleanly?

2) With 1.1.0b5, how would I change my exclude-from file to make this go
away?

Thanks,

Dan
