+proxy authentication
+
+ Allow RSYNC_PROXY to be http://user:pass@proxy.foo:3128/, and do
+ HTTP Basic Proxy-Authentication.
+
+ Multiple schemes are possible, up to and including the insanity that
+ is NTLM, but Basic probably covers most cases.
+
+SOCKS
+
+ Add --with-socks, and then perhaps a command-line option to put them
+ on or off. This might be more reliable than LD_PRELOAD hacks.
+
+Better statistics:
+
+ <Rasmus> mbp: hey, how about an rsync option that just gives you the
+ summary without the list of files? And perhaps gives more
+ information like the number of new files, number of changed,
+ deleted, etc. ?
+ <mbp> Rasmus: nice idea
+ <mbp> there is --stats
+ <mbp> but at the moment it's very tridge-oriented
+ <mbp> rather than user-friendly
+ <mbp> it would be nice to improve it
+ <mbp> that would also work well with --dryrun
+
+TDB:
+
+ Rather than storing the file list in memory, store it in a TDB.
+
+ This *might* make memory usage lower while building the file list.
+
+ Hashtable lookup will mean files are not transmitted in order,
+ though... hm.
+
+ This would neatly eliminate one of the major post-fork shared data
+ structures.

+ I think that would be good too. For example, people uploading files
+ to a web server might like to say
+
+ rsync -avzP --chmod a+rX ./ sourcefrog.net:/home/www/sourcefrog/
+

+--diff
+

+
