restic: Error in restoring a specific file

When I run the command to restore a specific file, the restic return the follow error:

ignoring error for /restore11/usr/local/teste2.txt: OpenFile: open /restore11/usr/local/teste2.txt: is a directory

Output of restic version

(v0.9.1-33-g44fb2a8) compiled with go1.10.3 on linux/amd64

How did you run restic exactly?

restic restore d84bbf60 -t /restore11/ -i "/usr/local/teste2.txt"

What backend/server/service did you use to store the repository?

S3 ( DigitalOcean )

Restic should not convert the file to directory

Restoring specific file from a snapshot , restic convert the first file to directory

@ifedorenko please don’t worry about this, it’s perfectly normal and human! I think we’re handling it pretty well, especially by adding more test cases 😃 I agree that the restorer had not enough test cases from the start.

I’m currently working on this, I’ll let you know here in the issue if I hit a wall or so.

Thank you all for your contributions (bug reports and code)!

Sigh. In my defense, there were no tests that covered restore with includes of specific files 😉 I think I can have the fix ready for review later today (eastern time). Let me know if you are interested.
