Wayne Davison 7790ee3684 Added logic to the receiving side to ensure that the --delete-during
code will not delete in a directory prior to receiving an I/O error
for that directory (or not receiving it, as the case may be).

NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
Changes since 3.0.3:
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
- Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
- Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This
particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
the --remove-source-files was also specified.
- Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
a non-root copy can't affect.
- Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
- The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead
of leaving it in the wrong character-set.
- When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
this no longer interferes with deletions in the root-dir of the transfer.
- Fixed a bug where --delete-during could delete in a directory before it
noticed that the sending side sent an I/O error for that directory.
- Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
- Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
- Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
