- Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
- - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
- instead of just updating the permissions.
+ - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
+ permissions without recreating the file.
- If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
- Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+ - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
+ fails.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
