Fixed failing hunks and added preallocate.diff.

[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / preallocate.diff

This patch adds the --preallocate option that asks rsync to preallocate the
copied files.  This slows down the copy, but should reduce fragmentation on
systems that need that.

To use this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    patch -p1 <patches/preallocate.diff
    ./prepare-source
    ./configure
    make
