Yes, it's very extensive, and there's some code in there that's pretty
advanced.
The fact of the matter is, I made my own patch for this functionality first,
and only then noticed Hideaki's patch -- and his, while not as readable to
the casual observer, seems like better code. He is rewriting the linux
kernel IPv6 stack, so I'd expect his rsync patch to be decent :-)
Nevertheless, feel free to take a look at my patch:
http://biot.com/patches/rsync-ipv6-acl.patch
So I haven't used Hideaki's patch, but I use mine, and it's good. Please do
apply one of them however.
