- - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
- the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
- should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
- rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
- replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
- dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+ - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
+ longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
+ date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
+ ownership, xattrs, etc.).
