Just run ./go to start all 3 tests.

All 3 tests should fail with:
ArchLinux's rsync-3.1.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
ArchLinux's rsync-3.1.3pre1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

All 3 tests will succeed with ArchLinux's rsync-3.1.2-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
(aka rsync  version 3.1.2  protocol version 31)

file contents cause rsync to fail (with certains args and dir structure)

Quite strange at first sight that the failure should depend on the files
containing NULs!

But I've reproduced it on both Ubuntu and OpenSUSE with d73762e
"Preparing for release of 3.1.3".

The problem remains even if you drop the --checksum or --delay-updates options
from the command line, but goes away if you don't use both
"--sparse" and "--preallocate" together.

So it looks like a bad interaction of these options, probably with the sparse
handling being affected by the NULs in the files.



HTH,

file contents cause rsync to fail (with certains args and dir structure)

Problem was introduced with this commit:



commit f3873b3d88b61167b106e7b9227a20147f8f6197

Author: Wayne Davison &lt;wayned at samba.org&gt;

Date:   Mon Oct 10 11:49:50 2016 -0700



    Support --sparse combined with --preallocate or --inplace.

   

    The new code tries to punch holes in the destination file using newer

    Linux fallocate features. It also supports a --whole-file + --sparse +

    --inplace copy on any filesystem by truncating the destination file.
