- - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
- fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
- sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
- systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
- to maintain for the future). The new code generates just one data
- file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch via
- stdin over a remote shell. Also, the old requirement of forcing the
- same fixed checksum-seed for all batch processing has been removed.
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
