rsync - Apr 2014 - [PATCH] Clarify escaping in wildcard patterns documentation

Hi,

the attached patch IMHO improves the man page regarding use of the
backslash as escape character in wildcard patterns.

Thanks,
Erik

I'm not sure what you mean by your change. If you type something like
"rsync -aiv foo\bar /tmp" it will copy the file foobar in a typical
un*x
shell.  If you notice anything different than that, then it is something
your shell does, not rsync.  Is there some other place that you are
referring to?
