OUTPUT CHANGES (ATTN: those using a script to parse the verbose output):
- For anyone who is parsing rsync's verbose output using a script,
please note that the 2-line footer now uses the term "sent" instead
of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If you are not parsing

that the verbose output is over.

indicator that the verbose output is over.
- The --stats option was similarly affected to change "written" to
"sent" and "read" to "received".
