narrow_widen_acl: enforce narrowacl in narrow_widen (SEC) Reviewer note: this was sent by the author as a simple bugfix, but can be considered a security patch, since it allows users to access things outside of the ACL, hence the (SEC) prefix. However, this affects the `narrow` extention which is still marked as experimental and has relatively few users aside from large companies with their own security layers on top from what we can gather. We feel (Alphare: or at least, I feel) like pinging the packaging list is enough in this case.

# extdiff will set the parent and child to a single file if there is
# only one change. If there are multiple changes, directories will be
# set. diff(1) does not cope particularly with directories; instead we
# do the recursion ourselves and diff each file individually.

	# diffing against the repository root to produce plumbable
	# output. This is antisocial.
