+This patch allows multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest options to be
+used, making the transfer of some files more optimal. Note that the
+algorithm does NOT search for the best match -- it stops at the first
+match and uses that as the basis file for the transfer, so be sure to
+order your arguments appropriately.
