symlink-dirlink-basis assert the --backup file holds the pre-update content,
not merely that the backup file exists.
acls-default check that clearing the inherited default ACL actually
succeeded, so the no-default-ACL cases can't silently
test against the scratch dir's seeded default ACL.
alt-dest assert --copy-dest produces a distinct inode from the
alt-dir candidate (a copy, not a hard link) -- the
property that distinguishes it from --link-dest, which
checkit's tree comparison alone doesn't capture.
(crtimes' "independently pin the historical create time" gap is left as-is: the
touch-trick pinning is APFS-specific and not locally verifiable, and a mistuned
probe would make the test skip on macOS and break its expected-skip set.)

automatic testsuite for rsync -*- text -*- We're trying to develop some more substantial tests to prevent rsync regressions. Ideally, all code changes or bug reports would come with an appropriate test suite. You can run these tests by typing "make check" in the build directory. The tests will run using the rsync binary in the build directory, so you do not need to do "make install" first. Indeed, you probably should not install rsync before running the tests. If you instead type "make installcheck" then the suite will test the rsync binary from its installed location (e.g. /usr/local/bin/rsync). You can use this to test a distribution build, or perhaps to run a new test suite against an old version of rsync. Note that in accordance with the GNU Standards, installcheck does not look for rsync on the path. If the tests pass, you should see a report to that effect. Some tests require being root or some other precondition, and so will normally not be checked -- look at the test scripts for more information. If the tests fail, you will see rather more output. The scratch directory will remain in the build directory. It would be useful if you could include the log messages when reporting a failure. These tests also run automatically on the build farm, and you can see the results on http://build.samba.org/.
