In the online copy of the rsync man page, as of 28 Dec 2008, the sentence: "For convenience, one additional file is creating when the write-batch option is used." should be: "For convenience, one additional file is created when the write-batch option is used." (creating -> created). Thanks for all your work, and please let me know if this should have been sent to a different address. (I'm not subscribed, cc's would be appreciated.) Jesse Weinstein
