output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash

output an "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit

this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
+ - The man pages now consistently refer to an rsync daemon as a "daemon"
+ to distinguish it from a server in a non-daemon transfer.
+
+ - Made a small change to the rrsync script (restricted rsync -- in the
+ support dir) to make a read-only server reject all --remove-* options
+ when sending files (to future-proof it against the possibility of
+ other similar options being added at some point).
+
INTERNAL:
- Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - Improved the naming of the logfile-open/-reopen/-close functions.
+
+ - Removed some protocol compatibility code that was only needed to help
+ someone running a pre-release of 2.6.4.
+
BUILD CHANGES:
- Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
- Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
+
+ - Some minor enhancements to the test scripts.
+
+ - Added a couple new diffs to the patches dir.
