+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.
