rsync - Aug 2008 - rsync 2.6.9 uses a lot of memory; has that changed in rsync 3.0.3 ?

Hi.  Has the issue with rsync using a lot of memory if there are a lot
of files been addressed in 3.0?

I checked the rsync FAQ and it says this issue would require a major
rewrite of rsync, not sure if that entry is up to date or not - 3.0 is
a major rewrite AFAIK.

Thanks,
Aleksey

The issue has been addressed by the addition of incremental recursion in
rsync 3.0.0.  However, I would not call rsync 3.0 a rewrite: there are
many added features and bug fixes but the codebase is just as tangled
(IMHO; Wayne may disagree) as ever.

Thanks, Matt!  So is incremental recursion an option or is it built in?

Best,

It is built in.
