Currently, the tests pass for me. We would appreciate your help in<BR>
figuring out why they aren't passing for you so the problem can be<BR>
corrected, but that's a separate issue.<BR>
<BR>
=== I uploaded the testtmp directory contents with the logs and results to:<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.mindspring.com/~ppokorny/rsync-3.1.0dev-testtmp.tar.gz">http://www.mindspring.com/~ppokorny/rsync-3.1.0dev-testtmp.tar.gz</A><BR>
<BR>
Perhaps it will be immediately obvious what went wrong, but I can't tell without learning more about your test harness why these three tests failed:<BR>
<BR>
batch-mode chmod-option daemon-gzip-upload<BR>

<BR>
Not confident. The best approach for now is probably to backport the<BR>
--delete-missing-args changes to 3.0.6. I've done so for you, here:<BR>

<BR>
=== Oh, that's awesome. Thank you!<BR>
<BR>
I'll apply that and try it.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
