Files-from data is now sent as multiplexed I/O so that it can mingle
with any messages (such as debug output). Requires protocol 31.
Protocol 31 no longer disables output verbosity in a couple instances
that used to cause protocol issues.
Got rid of MSG_* messages that have implied raw data that follows after
them. We instead send a negative index value as a part of the raw data
stream, which is guaranteed to be output together with the following
data. This only affects the (in-progress) protocol 31 and the (self-
contained) communication stream from the receiver to the generator.
Added --debug=IO and improved --debug=FLIST. Some --debug=IO output
requires --msgs2stderr to be used to see it (i.e. sending a message
about sending a message would send another message, ad infinitum).
If a symlink, device, special-file, or hard-linked file is replacing
an existing non-directory, the new file is created using a temporary
filename and then renamed into place. Also changed the handling of
a cluster of hard-linked symlinks/devices/special-files to always
ensure the first item in the cluster is correct, since it doesn't
really save any significant work to try to find an existing correct
item later in the cluster to link with.
- Improve function name: parse_rule -> parse_filter_str (to make the
similarity with parse_filter_file clearer, and better indicate that
it can parse multiple rules when FILTRULE_WORD_SPLIT is specified).
- In preparation for rule prefixes containing information beyond the
rflags, change the code to pass around a full "template" filter_rule
instead of just rflags. Callers of parse_filter_{str,file} that want
to specify only rflags can use rule_template(rflags) .
- Remove the MODIFIERS_* strings and instead hand-code the condition
under which each modifier is valid. This should make it easier to
see that the conditions are correct.
- Tighten up default modifiers on merge rules:
- Disallow "!" because it isn't useful.
- If the merge rule specifies a side via "s" or "r", the rules in the
file cannot also specify a side via "s", "r", "hide", etc.
[Patch was changed by Wayne a bit prior to application.]
