Rsync 2.5.2 has a data-destroying bug as described here:
http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/rsync/2002-January/005966.html
I ran into it yesterday after compiling 2.5.2 from source on another
platform. The bug is associated with the security fix described in the
change log. I didn't manage to apply the backout patch (didn't try very
hard) but I fixed the problem by downgrading to 2.5.1.
Lapo, does Cygwin rsync-2.5.2-1 suffer from this bug? Based on your message
I should think it would. I strongly advise against upgrading until the bug
is fixed.
