Folder, in more than one folder, is downloaded once #32

Like [issue 15] but now related to folder.

On Google Docs a folder can be placed in more than one parent (container) 
folder. So it appears in more than one place (like a doc). But GDocBackup only 
download one instance.

Is this actually true?

In the past I had a folder/container containing many files that was itself in 
six other containers. The result was more or less never ending backups as 
backups were eventually attempted for each of the root folders/containers. It 
wasn't immediately clear how GDocBackup chose which folder to test/backup to on 
each occasion (GDocs API?) but eventually it seemed to get around each of them 
much as for a file contained in multiple collections.

I have now simplified the structure to eliminate the burdensome extra backup 
traffic and to be fair that traffic was just a symptopom of and a useful 
warning of a stupid data organisation.

GDocBackup is essential for peace of mind when using google docs. Thanks.
