the patch
I need to sync a lot of files with non-zero-padded numbered filenames.
I would like them to be transferred in order, to be able to use "partial"
transfers (it takes a lot of time to transfer the whole data).
My concrete need is to rsync duplicity backups. Let's say I have 21 files. For
now, they are transferred in that order :

This is not good, because if the transfer is partial, they are not exploitable
(I have to sync all files 10 to 19 – and 100 to 199, 1000 to 1999 – before
transferring file 2).
Thus, I added a --numeric-sort (-N) option to rsync, to transfer the files in
the expected order.
Patch attached. Feedbacks welcome.
