Bug Description
From user Matthew:
"I made a backup of a directory to an external, NTFS hard drive. To test it out, I right clicked on one of the files in the original directory and hit restore previous version. Everything worked like it was supposed to except that, instead of restoring the file I had selected, deja-dup restored the entire directory, which is 30GB+. All I wanted was the single file. Do you have any Idea why it would have done this?"
I've confirmed that Deja Dup downloads the whole backup to /tmp, but correctly only overwrites the file you wanted. The bug is that it downloads everything, which is silly.

Thanks Matthew! A simple mistake in the code (one line in the wrong place) caused this. Fixed in trunk, and hopefully I can release fixes for 11 and 10 series.
