[Bug 1300768] Re: Rsync fails with (very) old server.

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for investigating this.

prefer to have helped get it fixed as opposed to running into the
problems again.

Understood, and we appreciate this. Please do continue to report bugs in
this fashion.

It seems to me that this might be a mistake, and not done on purpose. If
you can take this further, perhaps you could check to see if upstream
know about this issue already, and if not then raise it in their bug
tracker?

I'll mark this as Invalid in Ubuntu on the assumption that this is
intentional behaviour, but if it turns out that it isn't, and there's a
fix, we can always change this.

** Changed in: rsync (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
