When I call

    rsync z a b c dest/

rsync re-orders die filelist and transfers in alphabetical order.
This breaks some remote applications, in case they expect the files
appearing in some specific order. (debian reprepro + inoticoming as one
exampl).

And I believe, this behaviour breaks that what a unix user would expect.
