That feature exists in the current development rsync, under the name<BR>
--delete-missing-args.<BR>

OK, so I got the latest HEAD snapshot and it compiles, but it doesn't pass all the built-in tests.<BR>
<BR>
Diff'ng to 3.0.6 it looks like major surgery on the communication bits between 3.0.6 and 3.1.0.pre<BR>
<BR>
How confident are you in the current state of 3.1.0.pre and the nightly snapshots? Should I be concerned about running this on production data?<BR>
