Adding new-style compression that only compresses the literal data that
is sent over the wire and not also matching file data that was not sent.
This new-style compression is compatible with external zlib instances,
and will eventually become the default (once enough time has passed that
all servers support the --new-compress and --old-compress options).
NOTE: if you build rsync with an external zlib (i.e. if you specified
configure --with-included-zlib=no) you will ONLY get support for the
--new-compress option! A client will treat -z as uncompressed (with a
warning) and a server will exit with an error (unless -zz was used).
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.
- Backups do not interfere with an atomic update (when possible).
- Backing up a file will remove a directory that is in the way
and visa versa.
- Unify the backup-dir and non-backup-dir code in backup.c.
- Improved the backup tests a little bit.
- Made the XSTATE_* defines avoid using 0.
- Call !XATTR_ABBREV() in recv_xattr_request().
- Improved the "internal abbrev" error message.
- Fixed the potential for a directory time glitch in xattrs.diff.
