on the receiving side for the entire destination hierarchy. The new
algorithm only creates one directory of objects at a time.
- - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
- that it includes copies of identical files.
-
- - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
- --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
- patches dir and enhanced.)

file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
partial file.
- - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
- --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options. (Requires protocol

+ - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest and
+ --link-dest. (Requires protocol 29.)
- Added the --dirs (-d) option for an easier way to copy directories
without recursion.
- A 16-bit flag-word is transmitted after every file-list index. This
indicates what is changing between the sender and the receiver. The
generator now transmits an index and a flag-word to indicate when
- dirs and symlinks have changed, which makes the outputting of the

- resorts to the old-style outputting of generator-created change-
- messages for older protocol versions).
+ dirs and symlinks have changed (instead of producing a message),

- If --inplace is specified, the generator flags any transfer that is
using an alternate basis file so that the sender can use the entire
