- - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is
- simpler, fixes a few weird problems with the old code, and is much
- less intrusive into the code (making it easier to maintain for the
- future). (Chris Shoemaker)
+ - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+ the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+ should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
+ rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync will now only
+ replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+ dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
