- Added knowledge of a few new options to rrsync.
+ - Make sure that an inc-recursive transfer includes the right directory-
+ name prefixes for each dir. This makes it impossible for a malicious
+ sender to use a just-sent symlink as a path in a transfer.

+ right.

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Tweaked the temp-file naming when --temp-dir=DIR is used: the temp-file
