[Bug 297183] Re: gtkrsync shows no progress bars

[Andreas Fröhlich]

I had the same problem with gtkrsync in Hardy Heron since enabling
hardy-backports (which includes the new rsync version 3.0.4).

And here's the reason for this: since version 3.0, rsync uses
incremental file lists by default (see http://www.mail-
archive.com/rsync at lists.samba.org/msg17767.html). Therefore, rsync's
output starts with "sending incremental file list" instead of "xxx files
to consider", so gtkrsync has no idea how many files will be considered.

The option --delete-after diables incremental file list, i.e. you can
use gtkrsync like this to get it working again:

  gtkrsync --delete-after --progress ...
