Bug Description

[Impact]

 * There are some fixes in repo corruption before 1.0.7
 * There are some security issues before 1.0.7

[Test Case]

 * as explained here, upstream is asking to SRU borgbackup because of the fixes below
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/compare/28cbf2481564%5E...f32c8858ad3f
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/commit/dde18d6a7660837ce7b4f30d31960bdc74252570
 * use restrict-to-patch flag and see it not restricted

# if --restrict-to-path P is given, we make sure that we only operate in/below path P.
# for the prefix check, it is important that the compared pathes both have trailing slashes,
# so that a path /foobar will NOT be accepted with --restrict-to-path /foo option.

[Regression Potential]

 * None, we have a testsuite to catch such issues.
