Good point.,

That's was what I was thinking. A post transfer stat() (md5, crc, etc)
on the source file to help those who are expecting to transfer only
static files diagnose which files were modified during transit. It would
be nice to be able to either retry send (w/ # of retry attempts), fail
outright (retry = 0) or even not delete source file (when
--remove-sent-files is used).
