-The rest of the letters in the string above are the actual letters that
-will be output if the associated attribute for the item is being updated or
-a "." for no change. Three exceptions to this are: (1) a newly created
-item replaces each letter with a "+", (2) an identical item replaces each
-letter with a space, and (3) an unknown attribute replaces each letter with
-a "?" (this happens when talking to an older rsync).
-
-The attribute that is associated with each letter is as follows:
-
-quote(itemize(
- it() A bf(c) means the checksum of the file is different and will be
- updated by the file transfer (requries bf(--checksum)).
- it() A bf(s) means the size of the file is different and will be updated
- by the file transfer.
- it() A bf(t) means the modified time is different and is being updated to
- the server's value (requires bf(--times)). An alternate value of bf(T)
- means that the time will be set to the transfer time, which happens
- anytime a symlink is transferred, or when a file or device is transferred
- without bf(--times).
- it() A bf(p) means the permissions are different and are being updated to
- the server's value (requires bf(--perms)).
- it() An bf(o) means the owner is being updated (requires bf(--owner) and
- root privileges).
- it() A bf(g) means the group is being updated (requires bf(--group) and
- the authority to set the requested group).
-))
-
-One other output is possible: when deleting files, each deleted file will
-be logged with the "%i" taking on a value of "deleting".
+Note that some of the logged output changes when talking with older
+rsync versions. For instance, deleted files were only output as verbose
+messages prior to rsync 2.6.4.
