Shorten long lines in man page options summary
One thing that's bugged me is that some of the man page lines in the
options summary are longer than 79 chars and wrap onto the next line.
These are just one line summaries (detailed description appear later)
so they can, and should, be terse.
Here's an edited diff showing my proposed changes (and a 79 char ruler):

Improvements to man page for --no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks
Wayne,
Attached is a patch worth of suggested man page improvements for
--no-implied-dirs and --keep-dirlinks. I think new users would find my
explanations clearer and more complete, although you may want to make
additional changes. I regenerated rsync.1 and the patch includes
changes to it, but my yodl is somewhat weird, so I suggest you run yodl
again yourself.

RFC: [PATCH] Add TCP congestion control and Diffserv options
In the bufferbloat age, anything that can make for a kinder,
gentler bulk transfer protocol seems desirable.
This add support for user and server selectable congestion control
algorithms. As examples:

Or in a subsection:

congestion alg = westwood # for a wireless connection

Revised flags patch
Hi,
first of all, sorry for taking so long. Unfortunately, some other tasks
kept coming up. Anyway, attached is the version of the flags patch, that
is based on the one I'm using with 2.6.9. It is against the rsync-3.0.0pre9
release.
I've included the option name change from the repository, so the
option is now called --fileflags. Improved from the previously
distributed version is the

--keep-dirlinks --delete erroneously deletes symlinks to directories
Hi,
the combination of --keep-dirlinks and --delete (--delete-during,
--delete-delay) erroneously deletes symlinks to directories on
the receiver.
With --delete-before and --delete-after it works as expected.
(rsync version 3.0.3 protocol version, on Debian Lenny)
I don't think that this behaviour is intended.

Using --keep-dirlinks : recursive symlinks problem
Hello folks,
trying to make use of the new --keep-dirlinks feature for a synch port;
it works excellent but feels incomplete without a way for rsync to
ignore recursive links.
Example:

rsync 3.0.6 and keep-dirlinks in daemon mode
Hello,
I'm trying to push some data from one machine to another via rsync

destination machine uses rsync 3.0.6, it's a Scientific Linux 6.0 with rsync 3.0.6 from its repository
destination machine is running a rsync daemon with the following configuration:

--keep-dirlinks in combination with --one-file-system
I've been using the --keep-dirlinks feature of 2.6.3pre1. I also
use -x (--one-file-system) and --delete-after.
The symlinked directories on the receiver are symlinked to a
partition other than the one where the target of the rsync resides
(that's the whole point of this nifty --keep-dirlinks feature).
I discovered that the symlinked directories are not being processed
for deletions.

symlinks that become directories question
If I have a backup script that does the following:
(latest 2.6.9 rsync)
rsync --archive --hard-links --force --ignore-errors --numeric-ids
--keep-dirlinks --delete / /backup
I've found that if there is a symlink in place that gets backed up (which
goes fine), i.e.:
homelink -> /home/
and then that symlink gets changed into an actual directory, i.e.:
rm homelink
mkdir homelink

Keeping individual dirlinks
It would be nice if rsync offered a way to specify individual dirlinks
to keep without keeping all dirlinks. (Unison can do this.) For
example, consider the following command:
rsync -a --relative src/./ dest/
If rsync refrained from trimming a trailing /. off of source arguments
(at least as an option), one could keep a dirlink by passing it as an
additional source argument with a /. and

symlink in -R src_dirlist and real dirs on target
Hi folks,
I have a bunch of directories to mirror via rsync. I have lots of
hardlinked files spread about these directories. Therfore I use -R
(--relative) and -H.
so far ok but:
I create symlinks to the source-directories via script because src-dirs
have changing names (date and time of backup) and I want to have constant
directory names on target. How can I achieve that?

difference between --no-implied-dir abd --keep-dirlinks ?
Hi,
I have gone through the rsync documentation and also tested same both
--no-implied-dir and --keep-dirlinks options. My question is what is the
difference between these options in below scenario?
I have /foo/bar is the symlink to /foo/baz at source and same directory
structure with symlink is there at destination. When I sync the data from
/foo/bar/* with --relative option specified, I am

request: add TCP buffer options to rsync CLI?
Dear rsync folks,
I'd like to request/suggest that cli options to set TCP send/receive buffers
be added to rsync client-side.
Summary:
I'm aware that a daemon's config-file can set socket options for
the server side
(e.g. SO_SNDBUF, SO_RCVBUF). That is useful.
But when trying to get high-throughput rsync over
long paths (i.e. large bandwidth*delay product), since

rsync replacing symlinks without warning (resend)
