Synopsis: Prior to the 2.6.4pre versions, issuing 'rsync rsync://host/module/' 
behaved effectively as 'ls -l'. I've toyed with various options in an attempt 
to get an 'ls -l' style output, but to no avail.

As I have a small handful of scripts that rely on this no-longer-functioning 
functionality, this could be considered a Bad Thing(TM).

Following is an example of what I've described.

client: nothing to do: perhaps you need to specify some filenames or the 
--recursive option?
