Update of /cvs-repository/ZODB3
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv27102

      Tag: Zope-2_7-branch
	NEWS.txt 
Log Message:
Collector #1330:  repozo.py -R can create corrupt .fs.
When looking for the backup files needed to recreate a Data.fs file,
repozo could (unintentionally) include its meta .dat files in the list,
or random files of any kind created by the user in the backup directory.
These would then get copied verbatim into the reconstructed file, filling
parts with junk.  Repaired by filtering the file list to include only
files with the data extensions repozo.py creates (.fs, .fsz, .deltafs,
and .deltafsz).  Thanks to James Henderson for the diagnosis.

Also removed Barryisms (control characters at various spots in the file,
presumably for the benefit of the way he used Emacs), and Python 2.1-isms.
Documented that the backup directory must already exist.

 Collector #1208:  Infinite loop in cPickleCache.
