Subject: Try to avoid running on a system that allows us to create devices
X-Git-Url: https://mattmccutchen.net/rsync/rsync.git/commitdiff_plain/f5450e791da9495f8af4c2e27886f037db657b4b

Try to avoid running on a system that allows us to create devices
without being root (like cygwin) because rsync won't copy the
devices if it is not root.
