suggested on the list recently. See the man page entry for details but
basically it changes the behaviour so that paths are not stripped,
thus allowing you to specify a single rsync command to sync lots of
directories/files while preserving the full path name of each file.
also fixed a bug in the handling of umasks when both the source and
destination machines are local. We need to reset the umask before the
exec to ensure that the child gets a correct umask.
