ENHANCEMENTS:
- Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
--del option is implemented as an internally-defined popt alias, so
an rsync daemon that refuses "delete" (which, for safety's sake,
really matches "delete*") will still refuse all delete options. The
- default behavior is also explicitly selectable via --delete-before.

+ - All the --delete-WHEN options are now more memory efficient:
+ Previously an entire duplicate set of file-list objects was created

- Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
that it includes copies of identical files.
modified time for directories when --times was specified. This
option will avoid an extra pass through the file-list at the end of
the transfer (to tweak all the directory times), which can result in

- Added the --filter (-f) option and its helper option, -F. Filter
rules are an extension to the existing include/exclude handling
- Documented the "max verbosity" setting for rsyncd.conf. (This
setting was added a couple releases ago, but left undocumented.)

+ they are given, and refuse to operate on a directory index (since
