commit 4609bbbba551640b03022b65de9f837ed79360b7
Author: Richard Kettlewell <rjk@greenend.org.uk>
Date:   Sun Jan 26 14:11:55 2025 +0000

    Allow backups to be limited to a particular time of day
    
    - Command line host/volume selectors using glob matching now
      (not implemented for --retire).
    - New backup-time directive which limits backup creation to a
      particular time range within a day.
    - Selections are now recorded with an associated purpose, so
      while backup creation can be time-limited, other operations
      are not. The idea is we keep load off clients when they are
      being actively used (e.g. during a working day) but let the
      server work any time.

    Only run pre-volume-hook if the volume is actually going to be backed up
    
    This works by moving the pre-volume-hook sligtly later. One effect
    of this is that it can happen after the device hook when previously
    it happened before. This is probably not very important but it does
    have a knock-on effect on one of the tests.
