for people who want to generate the file list using a find(1)
command or a script.
+File list structure in memory
+
+ Rather than one big array, perhaps have a tree in memory mirroring
+ the directory tree.
+
+ This might make sorting much faster! (I'm not sure it's a big CPU
+ problem, mind you.)
+
+ It might also reduce memory use in storing repeated directory names
+ -- again I'm not sure this is a problem.
Performance
not sure this makes sense with modern mallocs. At any rate it will
make us allocate a huge amount of memory for large file lists.
- We can try using the GNU/SVID/XPG mallinfo() function to get some
- heap statistics.

Hard-link handling
monitor progress in a log file can do so more easily. See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=48108
+ At the connections that just get a list of modules are not logged,
+ but they should be.

rsyncd over ssh
There are already some patches to do this.
+proxy authentication
+
+ Allow RSYNC_PROXY to be http://user:pass@proxy.foo:3128/, and do
+ HTTP Basic Proxy-Authentication.
+
+ Multiple schemes are possible, up to and including the insanity that
+ is NTLM, but Basic probably covers most cases.
+
+SOCKS
+
+ Add --with-socks, and then perhaps a command-line option to put them
+ on or off. This might be more reliable than LD_PRELOAD hacks.
