Subject:	rsync 2.5.5-1 : Mishandling of directory names with spaces.

Hi,

I've noticed a problem with rsync v2.5.5-1.

Take the following example:

   $ rsync -e ssh --recursive --compress -v MS\ TS\ Client/ marky AT kodiak:
   ~/rsynclink/MS\ TS\ Client
   marky AT kodiak's password:
   building file list ... done
   created directory /home/kluster/marky/rsynclink/MS
   ...

   The problem here is that rsync should have used the directory
   /home/kluster/marky/rsynclink/MS\ TS\ Client

   This can be avoided by specifying the source directory name without the
   "/" at the end and the next directory up for the destination. E.g.

   $ rsync -e ssh --recursive --compress -v MS\ TS\ Client marky AT kodiak:
   ~/rsynclink/
   marky AT kodiak's password:
   building file list ... done


I hope that makes sense.

Cheers,
Mark
