Separately, we should look into stable sorting. Maybe, instead of
replacing qsort with another sorting function, we can just keep an
indication of the original order somewhere and use this order to break
ties in file_compare(). If we can count on file_structs being laid out
in memory in the order in which they were received, this tie breaking is
as simple as comparing pointers.
yes - for me - that would be a much better solution. I tried to come with a
patch proposal for that months ago but had no time to do this and to
maintain this patch over releases (file_compare() has been changed from
version to version).
We are working on another idea to acomplish this thing reliably without
using rsync but unionfs as another tool to overlay the file system on the
source and sync this one source fs to target. We are not yet ready with
this and it would be much easier if rsync would guarantee deterministiv
order by itself in a future maintained version.

Dirk.
