rsync-3.2.6

New point version.

rsync 3.2.6 (9 Sep 2022)

BUG FIXES:

More path-cleaning improvements in the file-list validation code to avoid rejecting of valid args.

A file-list validation fix for a --files-from file that ends without a line-terminating character.

Added a safety check that prevents the sender from removing destination files when a local copy using --remove-source-files has some files that are shared between the sending & receiving hierarchies, including the case where the source dir & destination dir are identical.

Fixed a bug in the internal MD4 checksum code that could cause the digest to be sporadically incorrect (the openssl version was/is fine).

A minor tweak to rrsync added "copy-devices" to the list of known args, but left it disabled by default.

ENHANCEMENTS:

Rename --protect-args to --secluded-args to make it clearer how it differs from the default backslash-escaped arg-protecting behavior of rsync. The old option names are still accepted. The environment-variable override did not change its name.

PACKAGING RELATED:

The configure option --with-protected-args was renamed to --with-secluded-args. This option makes --secluded-args the default rsync behavior instead of using backslash escaping for protecting args.

The mkgitver script now makes sure that a .git dir/file is in the top-level source dir before calling git describe. It also runs a basic check on the version value. This should avoid using an unrelated git description for rsync's version.

DEVELOPER RELATED:

The configure script no longer sets the -⁠pedantic-errors CFLAG (which it used to try to do only for gcc).

The name_num_obj struct was modified to allow its dynamic name_num_item list to be initialized in a better way.
