- - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a
- user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
- could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
+ - 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 would only
+ replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+ dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
