rsync - Dec 2008 - file count limit in rsync V3.0.4

Hi Friends,

Is there any limit in total files to be transfered in rsync V3.0.4?

The  rsync V3.0.4 has synching interleaved with file system walk and thus it
uses much less memory so ideally it should not have any limit of total
number of files to be transfered. Am I right?

Thanks,
Jignesh

There's no hard-coded limit, but memory is still a constraint...

No, it still holds a list of all directories (called "dir_flist") in
memory, so you may still hit a limit on the number of directories.  See:
