-  OUTPUT CHANGES:
-
-    - For anyone who is parsing rsync's verbose output using a script,
-      please note that the 2-line footer now uses the term "sent" instead
-      of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read".  If you are not parsing
-      the numeric values out of this footer, your script would probably be
-      better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the indicator
-      that the verbose output is over.
