Please notice that rsync-2.5.5-2 Steve is referring to is not "rsync CVS
tree" but actually just a Cygwin-specific patcher released.
As a matter of fact talknig about this on the mailing list
rsync AT lists DOT samba DOT org should be, IMHO, better: there the discussion can
also be heard by rsync developers themself, than can maybe have better
solutions (its their code, after all...) and/or say "we already solved
that, just wait next release" or other comments.
Another thing in my personal To-Do list is to check "make check" and see
why it is failing some tests (long dir test seems to me like "too long
dirname for win32 standards"... if that's really the case that test
should be deactivated for cygwin build) and maybe having a Win98 Cygwin
in http://build.samba.org/ to check compilation there (I don't have any
Win98 machine, though).
Notice than "cyberone" referenced in that page is my developement
machine and I'm compiling using gcc-3.2 (as you can notice clicking on
that page and reading the infos)
