Package: rsync
Version: 2.6.4-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

this bug is fixed in upstream release 2.6.5 (and presumably also in the
latest upstream release, 2.6.6) from rsync.samba.org

Quote from the changelog for 2.6.5

    - Fixed a case where rsync would erroneously delete some files and then
      re-transfer them when the options --relative (-R) and --recursive
      (-r) were both enabled (along with --delete) and a source path had a
      trailing slash.

This bug makes rsync backups (using e.g. the rsnapshot program) larger
than they need to be.
