rsync - Jan 2004 - proxy auth patch not in yet ?

when updating rsync in portage with the 2.6.0 release, i noticed we were still 
applying the proxy auth patch ...
http://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg03596.html
looking through this list i found that the author of the patch e-mailed here 
and it was supposed to be included with 2.6.0, but it's not ? :)
was it just left behind due to being forgotten ?

Thanks for the reminder.  Martin liked the patch back in early 2002, so
I'm not sure why it didn't make it in back then.  I just committed this
proxy enhancement into the CVS version, so it will be in the next release.
