--dry-run and --delete, rsync no longer complains about not being
able to opendir() the not-yet present directory.

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --specials option to tell rsync to copy special files (and does
- Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions
to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx
+ - Added the "incoming chmod" daemon option to allow a module to specify
+ what permissions changes should be applied to all files copied to the
+ daemon.
+
- Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
trailing stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the
content below the dir (dir/** would not match the dir).
+ - Added the --prune-empty-dirs (-m) option that makes the receiving
+ rsync discard empty chains of directories from the file-list. This
+ makes it easier to selectively copy files from a source hierarchy and
+ end up with just the directories needed to hold the resulting files.
+
- If the --itemize-changes (-i) option is repeated, rsync now includes
unchanged files in the itemized output (similar to -vv, but without
all the other verbose messages that can get in the way). Of course,
- Added the --sockopts option for those few who want to customize the
TCP options used to contact a daemon rsync.
+ - Added a way for the --temp-dir option to be combined with a partial-dir
+ setting that lets rsync avoid non-atomic updates (for those times when
+ --temp-dir is not being used because space is tight).
+
- Some minor documentation improvements.
- Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
