When a source file grows during transfer, rsync may show negative time values such as 0:-1:-34. The following patch replaces then negative times with ??:??:?? in such cases (as IMHO it's not worth the bother of getting the filesize again etc. in such cases, but showing garbage info is wrong as well).
