To my eyes, a mirror implies a duplicate fileset indistinguishable from the original. Having files show up with different modes & dates - due, in this case, to the sort order of the file list & the mode/date of the first file used for linking by hash - doesn't fit that scenario. Backups are even more sensitive as user.group information _must_ be retained. > I tried downloading the patch from the web cvs, but I got this: > > Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout aborted]: > Absolute module reference invalid: > `/rsync/patches/link-by-hash.diff' > > Check whether the directory /cvsroot/CVSROOT exists and the script > has write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists.

An alternative would be to use: rsync://rsync.samba.org/ftp/unpacked/rsync/patches/link-by-hash.diff Handy stuff, that.
