This should help users figure out that they can't use this + option to control a remote shell's password prompt. ENHANCEMENTS: + - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking + to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly + (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory. + See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions. + + - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a + 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is + the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible + with the new incremental recursion mode. + - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate delete pass.
